Stop storing passwords in plain text.
Hackers steal your database. They read every user password. Your users lose their accounts.
Use these steps to fix it:
- Hash your passwords.
- Use strong algorithms like bcrypt.
- Add a random salt to each password.
- Store salts safely.
Secure your data. Protect your users.
