Storing plain text password in 2019, really?

[#1]

I have contacted support via chat and was asked for selected letters from my password as a prof of identity, unfortunately it proves passwords are stored plaintext not hashed with salt as recommended by modern security guidelines. This is kind of red flag for any person who have experience with web security.

While GDPR doesn't clearly states how passwords should be stored it requires them to handled secure way, and plaintext leaks are punished by fines.

Please consider moving from storing plaintext password to hashed with salt.

It seems developers misunderstand basic notion of what hashing is.
