Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. - Lemmy.world

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

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

Oh, I’ve seen people do that crap on RuneScape back in the day. Not sure I’ve ever seen the meme though.
