I'm on a low sodium diet, can you please remove the salt from my password? Additionally I've been recommended to reduce my intake of oils, so can I get that password as homefries instead of hash?

Have you always done this? Did you store passwords in plaintext at some point in the past?

Do you also pepper them for even more flavor?

Bonus question - have you made sure that plaintext passwords aren't exposed to any logging infrastructure? I believe Facebook recently discovered that they had been accidentally logging plaintext passwords for years.

I think a lot of Redditors are salty enough already.

Then how are our passwords checked?
