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

But that still means they had your plaintext password at some point.

Edit: which, as some replies suggest, may not actually be much of an issue.
I’m still skeptical about them returning it, however.

hashing on client side is considered a bad idea and almost never done.
you actually send your password “in plain text” every time you sign up.

It’s not a bad idea and it is often done, just not in a browser/webapp context.
