You encrypt the datastream from the text input on the client side before storing it in a variable. It's not rocket science. I did this shit 20 years ago. Letting a plaintext password leave the user client is fucking stupid.

It's a good thing your opinion makes no difference then isn't it.

Yes. I agree 100% with the things I can and I defer to your experience where I can't. I used to write proprietary networking protocols 20 years ago and that's the knowledge and experience I'm leaning on.

As a matter of practice we would ensure to process passwords by encrypting the datasteam directly from the input, and they were never unencrypted in handling, so as to protect against various system and browser vulnerabilities. It would be a big deal to have them accessible in plaintext beyond the user client, not to mention accessible and processable by email generation methods and insecure email protocols.

25, I used to write proprietary networking protocols.

The front end to backend traffic should be encrypted, hashing occurs on the backend. The backend should never have access to a variable with a plaintext password.

I'm going to have to stop replying because I don't have the time to run every individual through infosec 101.

You have the text input feed directly into the encryption layer without an intermediary variable. The plaintext data should never be passable to an accessible variable which it must be to send the plaintext password in the email because it's not an asynchronous process.

I'm surprised so many people are getting hung up on basic infosec.

Stored in memory is still stored. It's still unencrypted during data processing. Still bad practice and a security vulnerability at best. Email isn't E2E encrypted.

It sends the user generated password, not an auto generated one.

 

Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don't use a password there that you've used anywhere else.

Americans use chips like a condiment. They even have preferences as to which flavours go on what sandwich or burger fillings. They're redneck sommeliers.

The controllers get put in control by the controlled, to do otherwise would be authoritarian. Willing subjugation to authority is not authoritarianism, hence why I used the word control.

Feel free to keep asking questions, I've got all the time and crayons I need to spell it out for you.

No, I gave you the definition.

Same colour, different flavour.

As per title, submitted a post here that as far as I'm aware met all the rules, it had positive momentum before I went to bed, wake up and no post and no messages or notification that it was removed or why except that it's just gone. Discuss.
