You already know that Apple released an application for Mac OS X last night that allows users of this operating system to initiate/receive FaceTime calls with any compatible iDevice, but what you don't know is that this application has a small problem Safety. It appears that once users log into their Apple account, which is required to initiate a FaceTime call, they will have access to all of that account's data and will be able to change the passwords for those accounts without the slightest problem.
Once you've logged into FaceTime you can have a look at all the account settings of the used Apple ID. Username, ID, place and birth date are shown as well as the security question and the answer to it – in plain text, without another password request.
But that's not all, because once you log out of this application, it will keep the id and username in the specific fields, although normally these data should disappear from there once you close the application.
When you choose "Log Out" from the top menu, the password remains in the password field, even when restarting the application. That shouldn't be the case tho: Applications should remove passwords from the password field as soon as the application is closed.
The FaceTime application for Mac is still in the beta version, so Apple can still solve many of the problems related to the daily use of the application.
