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.

Americans use chips like a condiment. They even have preferences as to which flavours go on what sandwich or burger fillings. They’re redneck sommeliers.

Yes, having an obvious mental handicap makes you stand out.

I always loathed that movie with everything in me, but I think it’s because I saw it as meaning to entertain rather than to warn.

If you haven’t you should watch ‘Don’t Look Up’, you will loath it for the exact opposite reason. It does such a good job of warning that it loses most of it’s entertainment value and leaves you feeling nihilistic.

Everyone who votes for Trump is poor.

Poorly educated, poorly socialised, poorly raised.

It gets easier to comprehend when it’s tempered by the knowledge of global literacy rates. In the US, for example, 54% of adults read below a 6th grade comprehension level.

More than half the planet can barely analyse the nuances between two similar statements, let alone comprehend anything that takes a formal education to learn. As a result many people lack the communicative skills that enable us to avoid conflict because they literally lack a conceptual understanding of the many words they don’t know or understand correctly.

Hell, try even explaining concepts like context and nuance to many people and their eyes glaze over. I’d like to think it’s a largely fixable problem due to insufficient education, but another side of me remembers all my classmates in highschool who failed English.

If I slap you there’s a non-zero chance Steve Job’s cock falls out of your mouth.

Elon Musk is a wannabe Steve Jobs, it all makes sense.

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