- stanmancan 9y agoI didn't say it's a good idea, it's awful, just pointing it out though.
- cm2187 9y agoWell, does it? Even if you crack it you don't have the correct casing. So you don't have the original password. Of course doesn't help if every other website converts to lower case too. But if you use bcrypt you can partially compensate by using a higher work factor.
