8 years ago Pros and Cons:
Pros of default dummy password
- password doesn't have to be determined at that moment
- no restructuring of existing database or log in structure
Cons of default dummy password
- need to make a system for detecting unset passwords
- need to make a system for setting password only
- lot of work basically
- storing a dummy password to flag which are not set
- specific instances where this needs to be checked for
Pros of Prompt
- simpler in terms of the database to implement
- is a one-off case that will only happen with passwords
- only one if statements
Cons of Prompt
- generally is an ugly fix
- weird one-off cases are what break things
Should there be a set password and just put a dummy password there instead of should it create a SEPERATE prompt where if adding a user it asks for the sensitive info seperately
