France outlaws hashed passwords...
That's a pretty bad misreading of the situation.  There's nothing in the law, as far as I know, outlawing hashed passwords-- just that the passwords need to be able to be handed over to the proper authorities upon request.  A hashed password should work just fine, as long as law enforcement can use that to gain access to the system.In short: there's plenty of reasons to be against this law without constructing new outrages.
