- nitrogen 11y agoNot exactly, that's what bcrypt and scrypt are for. Attackers would have to modify the running code to divert raw passwords elsewhere, which would be a lot more noticeable.
- hueving 11y agoNo, that's not the bottom line. One fingerprint opens everything and cannot be changed. You can use a different password for each site so when some craptastic one gets compromised, you're not screwed for life.
