That “m” should be a “b”. For a company that size, there is truly no excuse!

nah, sha-256 is fine, though you should pick something stronger than "password"

Don't worry I don't use that for my internet bank: 19513FDC9DA4FB72A4A05EB66917548D3C90FF94D5419E1F2363EEA89DFEE1DD

well, "Password1" is slightly better, I'll make sure not to tell anyone.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I paid an independent IT security consultant lot of money to help me come up with it - so I don't want to have to change it.

And these are the people who demand id to get back into your account if they find activity they deem suspicious.

Yep, had basically a throw away account for the occasional thing that basically required a Facebook account, and then I guess because I never posted anything they locked my account and demanded ID. Hell no.

They tried to do the same to me on Instagram.

Nope, it's not worth that level of privacy invasion.
