Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.
minus-square@dangblingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•2 years agoI’ve literally never had a service provider email me my own password ever. Maybe a OTP, but never my actual password. And especially not in plaintext. What would be the necessity behind emailing someone their own password? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a password? Email isn’t secure.

minus-square@EssentialCoffee@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoI’ve had service providers physically mail my own password to me before. Just crazy. Always use unique passwords for every site.
