How does Skillserv protect my password?
Skillserv doesn’t use secure connections because we don’t conduct commerce on this site. However, password protection is still very important. So before we send your password to our servers, we perform a ‘one-way’ transformation called a ‘hash’. That way, if a bad guy intercepts your user information, all they see is the hash–40 characters of gooble-de-gook. It also protects your password in our database. If someone were to break into my hosting company and walk off with the database, they get exactly nothing .
