When after registration on some website you get your password, that you just set, send back to you in an email. Why the fuck do they store and transmit passwords in plain text.

    To make sure you can look it up if you‘ve forgotten it and they do that because of .... aehhm reasons I guess... you’re right it’s nonsense to do that 😅

    For the *****th time, although they probably do, a password sent to you in plaintext right after registration does NOT mean by default that they store it in plaintext!

    @linuxxx You are obviously right. But the fact they are sending it to me says to me they don't care about security so probably store it in not a secure way.

    @oscylo That's why I added the probably part ;)
