Default Dodo Internet and your privacy

I am currently having an argument with Dodo internet regarding privacy.

You see Dodo ask you as a way to identify yourself your account password.
Now the major problem with this is that this means each and every staff member of Dodo can see your password.

This creates a security problem with your privacy that one of thier employees could take your account name and password home (with dodo your account password and defualt email password are the same, if you change one they both change) So the potential problem is one of thier staff could malicously use your account and email or just read your private emails.

Now the Fedral privacy act states this :
An organization must take reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

My argument is they are breaching that section of the privacy act.

They argue that most other I.S.P's do this also. I want to know if your I.S.P does this.
