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.

    i mean, if you’re not hashing passwords, there is clearly a major problem there.

    if in attacker breaks lemmy

    what does this even mean?

    are you worried about mitm attacks? that’s a basic feature of HTTPS, and basically the reason it exists
