Answer
Plaintext passwords are vulnerable to breaches.
Storing passwords in plaintext means they can be easily read if a database is compromised. Hackers can access all user accounts without any barriers. Always hash passwords before storing them. In Java, you can use BCrypt to hash passwords securely.
