Mate, plain text password is NOT good. Why can't businesses just make it SHA256 like, you're then protecting users data and privacy. That's embarrassing.

I've literally compromised close to 3k websites, and I can confidently say that over 95% had passwords and sensitive transaction details stored In plain text.
If I was someone with malicious Intent, there's no prizes for guessing what could've eventuated.
