Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don't use a password there that you've used anywhere else.

First of all they wouldn't know there's nothing worthwhile until they got in. But most importantly if you're using the same password for everything since 91 there's around a 0% chance that password hasn't been leaked. This means that a random person can have access to everything that you have that's not 2fa protected without you even noticing. You said that no one tried to get into your things, how would you know? Most places don't let you know when someone login successfully, and a lot of other places do so with an email which the attacker can quickly delete.

If you really use the same password for everything since a long while back anyone who knows your email address can get into anything yours, getting a hold of one of those password dumps is really easy, especially older ones.

Plot twist, they've never had their password leaked due to never having a password.

They spend every last waking moment trolling through public or university libraries to find computers that people haven't logged out of, and are still logged into social media, dialup modems, irc, bbs, mainframes, etc. It's these accounts they make posts from.

Pretty lonely world when you only ever get to make one comment on one account at max like once a week. And then you never get to check the replies. You never get to check your email either, you don't know if anyone has sent you and e-card for your birthday.

Oh and not to speak of constantly getting kicked out of those libraries once the librarians recognize you. To the point where you have to move to yet another city to have any online time again.

But hey, they've never had their password leak at least!

Like I said, almost 0%, there's always a chance he's the Phantom of the Library.

I mean, you can read all my comments and posts publicly, and social media accounts and such are just about the only thing I've ever had passwords for. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You finna steal my Lemmy account?

Security is only important when you give a shit about what can be taken without it.
