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

Encrypted passwords are still an unacceptable way to store passwords. They should be hashed.

Just because they send out the password does not mean it’s not hashed. They could send the email before hashing.

You’re correct and after reading more of the thread I saw OP say this was sent immediately after registering. I don’t have reason to believe it is stirred in plaintext unless they’re storing s copy of every email they send.
