WikiCEdia:Security

Here at WikiCEdia, we take security very seriously. All user passwords are stored in our secure database using industry standard one-way hashing algorithms. See this page on Wikipedia for more information. In addition, access to our database server is restricted only to essential personnel, and every precaution is taken to ensure that only these people are able to access the database. Even if the database itself were to be compromised, the password data contained within it is safe - it would take a long time to even crack one password from the database, due to the type of hashing algorithm that is used. Absolutely NO ONE can see your plain-text password, and it is for this reason that we cannot tell you what your password was if you forget it, and require you to instead reset your password.

Keeping these things in mind, however, we recommend that you do not use the same password for any two sites. Do not use your GameFAQs password here, or anywhere else. Do not use your email password on any other sites. Do not use your personal banking website password on any other website.

We also recommend using a strong password - one containing a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, that is at least 8 characters long.
