Most of the way I'm reminded that a list I'm on uses Mailman is that it mails me my password in plain text every month.
So, it's unfortunate, but it's nothing new.
- golem_de 12y agoSorry, I couldn't resist. Look on that 'user' table! Does anyone have a copy of lists.mozilla.org? hehe
- andrewstuart 12y agoCan you help me understand the issue you see here?
- rbehrends 12y agoAs I understand it from the write-up (and a brief look at the source seems to confirm that), Mailman 3.0 does encrypt passwords by default and does not mail them out any longer. It is stored in unicode because that's what passlib hash algorithms return, not because there's an underlying plaintext representation.
- hobarrera 12y agoIt hashes password. Encrypting them indicates there's a way to decrypt them. Hashing, by definition, is not possible (not practical, really).
