View submission: How to keep your Reddit account safe
I'm guessing that /u/vikinick's concern is whether or not Reddit knows our passwords. If Reddit is storing passwords correctly, then Reddit should only be storing the hash (irreversible digital signature) of our passwords. Passwords should never ever be stored in plain text.
How could Reddit compare our passwords to a 3rd party dataset if they were storing our passwords properly in the irreversibly hashed form? I can think of a way, so this is probably a non-issue.
There's nothing here!
