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.
Checking myself because you got me curious: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/api/src/local_user/login.rs
But passwords are hashed. Specifically using bcrypt: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt
This is why open source is good!
