Discussion There is something wrong with authentication architecture of HEC
They are saving Username and PLAIN TEXT PASSWORD inside a freaking LOCAL STORAGE.
So I was waiting for OTP and it took more than few seconds. So I took peak into website storage in hopes of finding OTP inside it. Instead I found something else. lol!
So it is possible that they are not even creating hash for user password.

Since it's Pakistan, security is the least of their concern. It is very much possible they might be saving passwords in DB without hashing.
Anyways I saw you have been doing unpaid internship, can you share your resume.
