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.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish13•1 year 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@wim@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglish12•1 year agoI find that very hard to believe. While it is less common nowadays, many, if not most, mailing list and forum software sent passwords in plaintext in emails. A lot of cottage industry web apps also did the same.

minus-square@EssentialCoffee@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI’ve had service providers physically mail my own password to me before. Just crazy. Always use unique passwords for every site.
