From the user's side, proper password storage practices mean your passwords are far less likely to be compromised.

Uh, and what "regular account" would that be? You assume much, but know little.

Yes.

Indeed and considering I'm using 20 char mixed passkeys if they're hashed with md5 then they'll take zillions of times longer to reveal than plaintext ... oh wait, no they won't because plaintext is about as bad as plaintext - and you appear to believe that is from any perspective ...

So go on, 3 days must be plenty of time to read something that's about as bad as plaintext at remaining unread.

There is nothing certain, not even this. However pyrhonic absolutism gives sway to pragmatism in general conversation.

So, what, never post on HN, create a new account for each thread, enter comments direct to the db using a morse key ... what? I'd hardly call the assumption that you had an account that you used in the normal way to be massive.
