Although this thread has been closed I thought that the above could do with answering.

Firstly it doesn't matter if anyone does know your bank account details as the only thing that they could possibly do with them is to pay money into your account as they won't be able to take it out. Don't forget that until internet banking took over a few years ago almost all transactions were done by cheque and therefore everyone that received a cheque from you automatically had your bank account details.

Secondly the passwords here are encrypted and no-one can read them
