I *really* don't think that's the case for a couple reasons... the *only*
field searched on when doing the password retrieval is the login field
(emails under services and override email addresses are *not* searched). If
a match is found, then it's only going to send to that customer's email. So
even if you *knew* someone's login and zip code, if it finds a match, it's
only going to send it to the owner anyway (they would probably wonder *why*
they got it, but still...
