Do any of you staff have access to all of chess.com members passwords, the ability to change and edit their profile, access to all the personal messages and stuff like that?

I know u probably wouldnt do any of that but do u have the ability to do that?

Yes,  even password, at the time you asked,  chess.com actually used to send password in the clear via email to allow users to recover their accounts.

Surely nowadays, assuming chess.com has any near-modern standard security, it wouldn’t know our passwords.
