OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees

Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. - Lemmy.world

Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

Definitely. You don’t send passwords, ever, even if it’s encrypted by a quantic email server from the future.
