If you guys think that checking your password online is secure just because the guy creating this says so then, go knock yourself out. A more trusted way would have been to ask the users to put the oneway hash value (md5 - less secure or sha-1 or something). This way if your hash is already there in his database you know it is hacked and if it isn't there the site owner or hacker cannot back calculate your password using the hash since hashes were generated using a one way function.And Kids that is how you make sure you can be trusted <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";-)" title="Wink    ;-)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";-)" />.------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1627828043[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
