Right, and everyone agreed that wasn’t the greatest practice. Two years ago.
This thread from two days ago was bringing attention to an issue that was fixed two years ago, and calling it out as if it was a different problem than it was.
It’s good to have discussions about security best practices, but this thread is pointless. This problem is simply not there anymore.
