Ditto. Everyone can see you're using the excuse of trolling when being called out giving bad advice and failing to be able to back it up.

And you have trouble justifying your technical advice.
So let's sum up, again
You think javascript should be involved in encrypting passwords before sending them to servers despite the fact that this gives away any keys and algorithms used in the encryption. You then said that they should hash them with salt, despite the fact that would expose the salt. Failing to explain why neither of these issues are of concern you then attempted to say that the client technology doesn't have to be javascript but something else that you didn't elaborate on. Rather than explain yourself we've had you backpedaling, employing a range of fallacious arguments, implying you're just trolling and so on, all to (and this is how it appears to me) drag the discussion away from your original advice because you can't back it up and you're unwilling to simply admit that you were wrong.

That's not really possible, https is there to protect the data in transit so that it's never exposed in plain text.

..as does Twitter. SSL is for transport, and as you can read in the article; once received, it enters the system. It was logged in plaintext.
So, no, having SSL does not mean that it is "never" exposed. If you are saying it is not possible for others to get the password due to SSL, then again, Twitter shared this message (and took a hit in the value of their stocks!) because the password was visible in plain-text to the employers of Twitter.
TL;DR - yer wrong.

I said HTTPS means it isn't exposed in transit. The fact that you implied I meant HTTPS means the data can never ever be exposed no matter what you with that data after you receive it is just a straw-man argument.
TL;DR - yer a troll

In this case enough strawman argument to warrant a password-change.

Your argument was a straw-man one because you misrepresented what *I* said, twitter is irrelevant. If you have no counter to my rebuttal against your misrepresentation of what I said then I'll take that as an admission.

My apologies for the insinuation. Given the article and your post, I merely wanted to point out that SSL is not enough to say that you've a 'secure environment'.

I have used your password to login to Twitter.
I've changed my password to your new password, but you might want to change your own password too

My Twitter-password will never be stolen, as I never had an account there.
So, please change my password back?

Well, since this "mistake" has most likely been there since day one, then it is possible that either Biz Stone or Noah Glass were to blame. I am sure there was no "thorough" security code review done prior to first launch, or this "mistake" would have been caught.
-- my opinions, so I could be completely off mark here.

Researchers have found eight new flaws in computer central processing units that resemble the Meltdown and Spectre bugs revealed in January, a German computing magazine reported on Thursday. That's great, because they almost fixed the old ones already

Perfectly summarizes how we all feel about it.
