How does the system know that an already-established password is weak if not in plain text? Or are you saying you have a set of passwords, each of which have gone through the same cipher algorithm, and see if there are any matches?

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.

When setting it, sure. But if we’re talking about next login, that would imply we’re talking about passwords established in the database/server.
Then again, you do have that plaintext password available when it’s entered. Rather than checking what’s in the database, you could see what’s in the form that just triggered a successful login. That’s not as scary
