Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but backend servers will almost always have the user-submitted password in plaintext as a variable, accessible to the backend server and any upstream proxies.
It's even how it's done in Lemmy. The bcrypt verify accepts the plaintext password and the expected salted hash.
Yes, which is why they're vulnerable to mitm and local sniffer attacks.
Man, you sound like you're just using random words you heard in class. Clearly you have no clue how user registration actually works, let alone backend development.
Well it's a good thing your opinion has no effect on reality.
