For everyone infosec culture, hashing and salting password consist in using one-way mathematical functions to encrypt passwords. It is a very commonly used security practice to make it more difficult for an attacker that was able to steal a database to obtain the password. As the website is unable to decrypt said password (thank to the one way mathematical function), the only way to send you back your password in this manner is to have it unhashed and unsalted in his database.
But
In the current case, this is a registration email, which may have been sent before the initial hashing and salting. In this case we cannot say for sure if Larion Studios indeed have unhashed and unsalted password in his database.
I often fall so in rhythm with the routine of having a toddler (wake up, help get ready, go to work, come home, clean house, prepare dinner, put to bed, enjoy two hours of free time, sleep) that it’s easy to forget there are roaring ocean beaches out there somewhere in the night. When it’s not winter, I sometimes forget there are even stars outside. Remind me to move closer to a beach.
One more shoutout for unrailed, last videogame I played with my dad before we had to say goodbye. Very cool gameplay, tension without (much) violence, excellent co-op and A+ soundtrack. Simple idea, perfect execution
