I was wondering if username and password are stored in cleartext anywhere, where it can be easily found. Is it? It’s not in wp-config.php, so where is it?

Thanks, Michael Author Posts Check out our premium plans with priority support. Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
