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

        Show me where the proof is that they STORE it plain text. This is just a screen of a mail after creating an account.

          They can’t send it if they haven’t stored it, that’s the proof. Whether temporary or not it’s a weakness and attack vector for obtaining unhashed passwords. And if they stored it, it should be immediately hashed at which point they can’t send it.

            That… is not how it works. It is usually hashed and at the same time an email is sent. Meaning it’s not stored plaintext in any storage.

              Plenty of website did this… more than a decade ago, and even then plenty of security conscious people writing blogs and posting on social media begging devs to stop doing this.

              You’ll forgive me for not trusting anyone who can tell me my password that isn’t me.

            They can still send it while the value is in memory.
            But it’s unlikely that emails are sent synchronously. At which point, it has to be added to a job queue somewhere which might not be in memory.
            There is also the communication with that job queue, and logging along the way, and any email logging.
            Email isn’t secure, either.

            So, it bad practice regardless.

            Thankfully larian did address this, and fixed the issue as pointed out by another commenter.
            Addressed here, with the follow up of fixing it:

            they can send it without storing. In fact a lot of websites (mostly small outdated forum systems) send your password to your email before storing it.
