  Hi,
  A huge improvement would be to  never  sent or store passwords in clear text.
  There are lots of resources to help you to this goal:

  Ask me for more help if needed, but please do something.

  Hello Bruno,
  
  Passwords are of course not stored in clear text. What have you seen for such a conclusion?

  Because I received it by email in clear text. Now I guess it is sent by email and then salted, hashed, stored?
  
  Still, it would be better to get rid of the clear text as soon as possible, I am not sure that emailing the password is a useful thing.
  
  But we are entering the user convenience vs. security debate, I don't want to sound too harsh. I really appreciate the forum, the application and the time you devoted to it!
  Thanks

  Oh yes I didn't remember that during the registration step the password was sent by email. I found it convenient for the user but you are right, this is not a good thing for security. This is now fixed, thank you for the report.
  
  In any case, no passwords are stored in clear text in the database. There is no way to get them.
