Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish11•1 year agothis is still a terrible idea. the system should never know the plaintext password. logs capture a lot even automated emails. i don’t see a single reason to send the user their plaintext password and many reasons why they shouldn’t
