Re: Emailing Passwords? In 2020?by afoken (Chancellor) |

It's been ten years ... - Pants are still down, 11 years later. No one cared to fix the basic problem, a database full of plain text passwords without hashing and salting, and a password recovery mechanism from the age of the dinosaurs. If perlmonks wasn't that useful and entertaining, I would simply disable my account and search for some other place. So the second best thing to do is to follow the advice of LanX from Re^2: It's been ten years ...: Best is to stick with a randomly generated password and to store it into your browser or password manager. And of course: Don't use that nearly-public perlmonks password for anything else. Alexander
