bcrypt… with how many iterations? seems like an important detail

Pretty good disclosure text. There are much bigger companies that don’t manage to be this clear.

I’m willing to give him a pass on that one since they’re probably worried that their General audience will understand the word encrypted but not understand the word hashed

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

I guess you were born in the 1950s, kids these days just don’t know…

obligatory bcrypt is not encryption
wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Correct but you also dont want an encrypted password. You want a hashed password.

this is true, and the name bcrypt can be misleading to non experts. i don’t blame them for getting this wrong in a pr statement 🤷♀️
