Newegg stores your password in plaintext
This comment stream is a great example of HN going downhill.  It's literally ten threads of the same half-informed claims with half-informed stock counterarguments.We have the: completely unverifiable reversible encryption defense, followed by the complaint that reversible is just as bad, followed by every manner of hypothetical baloney.  Then we have the dismissive password generator users, followed by the complaint that this is an irrelevant solution.  And of course the smattering of people wanting to publicly shame sites that store in plaintext, like more than 0.01% of the Internet will ever care.tldr, you no longer have to read these comments, screw the karma this will cost me.
