Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.
You must log in or register to comment.
no, they probably dont.
they just send it to your email upon registration, which is kinda a bad idea, but they are probably storing passwords hashed afterwards.But that still means they had your plaintext password at some point.
Edit: which, as some replies suggest, may not actually be much of an issue.
I’m still skeptical about them returning it, however.hashing on client side is considered a bad idea and almost never done.
you actually send your password “in plain text” every time you sign up.It’s not a bad idea and it is often done, just not in a browser/webapp context.
Can you give an example where this is done?
