- jeffgreco 14y agoYou can provide your own hash, and a quick source check reveals that plaintext is being converted into a hash client-side, so only hashed data is being sent to the server.
- nailer 14y agoI think it'd be best to provide people with a simple way to generate their hash with a well-known tool they already trust - eg, an openssl command.
- cschmidt 14y agoFor the record, on a Mac, save your password in a text file called password, without a return at the end of the line. Then: openssl dgst -sha1 password will give you the hash you need. Mine has been leaked but not cracked, according to this site :-(.
- Hoff 14y agoOr... echo -n "password" | openssl dgst -sha1
- thrill 14y ago'password' was actually in use - go figure.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoAs is ********
- Domenic_S 14y agoAll I see is hunter2
- why-el 14y agoSo was mypassword and others. Oh well.
- sirclueless 14y agoNot necessarily a bad security practice. If you want a throwaway account for whatever reason, then why increase your cognitive load by coming up with a good password?
- artursapek 14y agoNot like they couldn't save it as a variable if they wanted. That's just what you see in the UI.
