Do you not hash the passwords? It' not safe, > very very not. We use Mailman as our mailing list software, which unfortunately keeps plaintext passwords at this time. Please see https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists for the warning notice regarding this. Quote: "You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext. ". While I would prefer that hashed passwords are used, it unfortunately does not seem to support it at this time. > > Best wishes, > Makay Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin > > http://androbit.org > > ______________________________________________________________________________ > [email protected] | https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists > ______________________________________________________________________________ [email protected] | https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-artists
