I don't see what the big deal is. I store all kinds of sensitive information in plain text. SSNs, credit card numbers, birthdates and religious and political affiliation information.

The guy I bought it all from said it was okay, he stores it in plain text, too. (I'm joking, of course! Any information about you all that I've bought on the dark web, I'm storing responsibly.)

I don't care what you do with your data... As long as your being careful with my data.
