Hi kind reminder password hashes.
For all no-tech-people: what? Please explain
If you’re a company, you should save your users’ passwords as “hashes” which is like a scrambled up version, so if your data gets stolen the hackers will have to unscramble all the passwords which takes a long time. Some naughty companies don’t do this and save their passwords as plain text. The person above is presumably talking to developers to remind them not to be naughty
