French law requires service providers to store and surrender passwords

[jamescv7]

Last month the French government passed new legislation dictating that service providers keep records of every username, password, activity, date/time and email address for 12 months.

The providers should also keep postal addresses and phone numbers if they are known, according to a post on GigaOm.com.
