Correct.

Yes, lots of sites do that (not that *I* do, but lots of sites do).

No horde module supports that at this time.

You would need a backend that supported it (either a backend that stores
passwords in plain text or a decryptable manor so you can email it, or
a backend that saves hint info for passwords) and then you would need to
modify (or have someone else modify) the password code to handle that backend.

I don't know of any standard backends that do password hints, though several
can store plain text passwords...
