I found a security issue on your "Reset password" page
Google botnets are indexing some of your sensitive pages with tokens of accounts.
For this you may like to add:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
(For pages like "resetting your password" need to have this.)
Vulnerable url:
https://vimeo.com/forgot_password/7173461/x5vozxp0d6aqh5ja

(Please note that this pages are index by Google already )
This is not a super serious bug I agree. but still if user don't change the password this link will be active for some longer time it can be access by Google.
PS: it also a good Idea to add /forgot_password/* to http://vimeo.com/robots.txt
Any problems reproducing this bug please let me know.
