Just enrolled for uni and…. they email back my password in clear text…

Translation: "... using the secret access keys", yeah secret my ass, and they send you the password even when you change it so what's the point in letting me choose the password, just send me one i can't change.

Luckly it's computer science or else it could have been worse 🤔

    Update:
    I broke it, looks like it can't handle letters with accents or non ascii probably. I used a password with the letter à and it doesn't let me login (even tho that's 100% the right pass cause y'know the MAILED IT BACK). I made a password reset and now it works. Just WTF

    If they only send you the plaintext password when you set it, it's technically possible that they're hashing it. They could get it, send the email, then hash it and store it.

    I wouldn't bet my life on it, though...

    @HollowKitty that letter with accent bug and the 20 char limit make me kind of hopeless
