This might be a silly question but I couldn’t find this information through searching google.

I’m wondering if the lemmy platform for all instances encrypts passwords automatically, or if admin are able to view user passwords.

It’s not so silly once you consider that even big corporations often store passwords in plaintext which comes out during a hack.

Thanks for answering.

    Isn’t there some famous cautionary tale about everyone assuming someone else checked? Regardless, someone else in this thread checked, and passwords are hashed.
