For the record, B & L uses Simple Auctions as our host and we do not have the ability to see passwords, watchlist's nor max bids. It does make it a bit inconvenient when people can't remember their password, that would be the only inconvenience to the AH.
That being said, I believe prospective bidders should have a basic trust in the people they choose to do business with. I wholeheartedly think there are very few auctions that frequent this site and/or advertise here that would act in an inappropriate manner, even IF they could see the information. Just because you might be able to see or do something, is a large step from acting nefariously with it.
