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

      When you create an account you type your password in. This gets sent to the server, and then it is hashed and stored

      So there is a period of time where they have your unhashed password

      This is true of every website you have ever made a password on

          I’ve never even heard of the game studio I’m not defending them, I was replying to the person who said the company should never have your unhashed password, and explaining that they have to at some point in the process

        So why would an agent at Larian have man-in-the-middle access between the password being sent to the server, and the auto-hash?
