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.

No, I’m appealing to the reality of the situation because your willful ignorance has no bearing on it.

Then why comment? Sounds like they needed everyone to know they had made a decision and everyone else needed to hear it before they left. Sounds like a Karen to me considering that’s exactly how the fediverse works.

If you don’t like it then host your own instance with all the blackjack, hookers, and liability you want; instead of bitching about what toys someone else has in their sandbox.

Bleu, just the way I like it, never tried horse but for beef the saying goes:

Knock it’s horns off, wipe it’s bum, and twice over a candle.

I’m a meat eater, I’m also a chef for a vegan ready-meal company, this is funny, grow a sense of humour, it can be rotated in when your lentils come to fruit.

That’s all you need bro, that’s what makes us family.
