This makes it sound like the passwords are stored in multiple places depending on the usage (website, app, XBox, etc), which doesn’t make sense to me. I would expect them to be stored in one location and authentication would be done against that master record. Do both use different records to authenticate my account and are both at risk in different ways? Am I misunderstanding something?Anyhow, at a bare minimum, salt and hash the passwords and throw away the original for God’s sake.”]
