Haypi's password security

I am unable to find a "delete account" or "change password" function. Also, i realize the passwords stored in Haypi are not hashed/salted in any way. (there's a resend password function, which shouldn't exist)

If the servers get hacked into, the passwords are in plaintext. Please ensure that passwords are properly stored, and that users can only change passwords.

General Tab -> Management Button -> Reset Password Button -> Follow the remaining procedures there to change your password.

And there are currently no plans for incorporating a delete account function.

Thank you for your reply, it was helpful. I would suggest this to be included in the FAQs.

However, you have not touched on the topic of password storage security. The fact that i can retrieve my password by submitting my email means the password is not entirely secure (since i can obtain the plaintext version of it).

In the event of someone hacking into the servers, if the passwords were hashed, obtaining them in the original form is difficult. Paired with salts, it is nearly impossible.

Here is an excellent read about password storage. I understand Haypi is operated in PHP but this explains the advantages of hashing and salting very well.

thank you once again.

They are busy people and I doubt they have time to upgrade the password database any time soon

strange why security shouldn't be a top priority.

Well, nobody really cares that much about Haypi passwords to hack into it I mean seriously, it's just a MMOG

Shadetale, it might not be easy to understand as a non-developer, but password security is a fundamental aspect of programming.
