How safe is our email and password on this site?

Welcome aboard OP.

BTW, Welcome to AAM.

Thank you both

I hate causing trouble and I fear putting off new users. I really like this site and I dont want to cast any doubt on it.

I can delete if you really wish, but any other user having concerns might be reassured if they read through this.

FYI. The user is the only one with access to the password. When you choose a password on this (and other) forums it is encrypted with a one way algorithm and this value is stored on the database.

In other words, even if this forum was hacked the hacker could not get your password.

I understand and I'm happy to leave it be as long as you are. Thank you all so much for your support and reassurance and for your patience.
