Haha, brand new company with MD5 password hashes. Maybe they oughta consult about securities with their/other AIs more often. Hopefully, nobody did anything naughty on the site.

As long as the other 18 characters are randomly generated that seems secure enough, and a decent way to keep track of which passwords are associated with which accounts.

Feels like just a roundabout an exceptionally more difficult way to achieve a strong password versus just a password manager. Where you can do ridiculous things like have a 100 character long password

~~Only to discover that the website will accept 100 characters in the box but actually truncate it to like 40 without telling you~~
