Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

    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.

      Of course. You receive the password in plain on account creation, do the process you need, and then store it hashed.

      That’s fine and normal
