Before people get worried about this, this is how literally any online service works. If you have an account anywhere, you trusted that service to not record your password.

Only exception is oauth, which actually might be a good idea for Lemmy.

That is a lot of words to say ‘they can’t see your password, but they can try to guess it. Make a secure password and you won’t have any problems’

You want descriptive answers? Make a descriptive question.

It can be as simple as ‘what is “x” and why?’
