LooieENG Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I know I made a question asking about the best way to store one, but I was just thinking, when you request a password reminder, and you get it in an email, does that mean the website is storing your password in plain text?

peranha Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 no, most websites will send you a new password in an email, not the original one. if they do send the original one, they may have built their own 2 way encryption so they can retrieve passwords after encrypting them.
