But would you find most storing passwords in plain text? in 2011?
- kevindication 15y agoI had to stop a previous employer from doing just that in 2003. It was bad practice then, too. Big companies are just more susceptible to these kinds of short-cuts. Especially shortcuts with no clear benefit except to a lazy programmer. I remain pessimistic.
