Yet another example of why its important to use _unique_ passwords for every site you have an account on. Even if the site you're using does password storage properly, that's no guarantee plaintext credentials couldn't leak through other means, such as, in this case, improperly configured logging systems.
In the future, WebAuthn may be able to solve this problem for good, as sites will only have access to a unique public key rather than a plaintext password. Until then, a password manager is your best defense against this type of issue.
- xtracto 8y agoThis is so prevalent in technology companies that it is funny to read this thread with everybody throwing mud at Facebook without considering that most probably the company they are working on has had (or maybe even currently has) the same issue.
- nabakin 8y agoThat's a fallacy my dude. You can throw shade at your own company and Facebook for the same reason. It doesn't and shouldn't minimize what Facebook has done.
