You make a hash of the password and store the hash. Security 101.

Nice explanation. Thanks.

Thanks for posting. I had wondered about this issue. Had the notion that they somehow did not have your actual password. Now I understand.

Gibson has a 64 digit ultra high security free password generator. Hit refresh to see new strings.

Importantly, some of the security companies have been moving *away* from such high security codes, for no clear reason, limiting their users to as few as 16 digits, which relatively speaking, is easy to crack. Many websites allow no more than 8 digits, which is just laughable.

If you have any question about Gibson’s passwords, just changing a few characters in them should resolve any problem.
