It’s so sad that you spread misinformation based on your inadequate knowledge.
Comment on Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.

they can send it without storing. In fact a lot of websites (mostly small forums) send your password to your email before storing it.

That… is not how it works. It is usually hashed and at the same time an email is sent. Meaning it’s not stored plaintext in any storage.

Plenty of website did this… more than a decade ago, and even then plenty of security conscious people writing blogs and posting on social media begging devs to stop doing this.

You’ll forgive me for not trusting anyone who can tell me my password that isn’t me.

That’s a totally different statement than that in your post.

Sure, if you’re illiterate.
