When you sign up on Facebook,

• you are asked to create a password. Its job is to
  make sure that only you can access it, like a
  house's door that keeps strangers away. Knowing
  that you have this handy feature by your side,
  you started adding friends and scrolled through
  their posts. But how sure are you that no other
  people can use your password?

• Last January, some users' passwords were found
  readable inside the company's internal data
  storage systems despite their implemented masking
  method. Millions of passwords were seen in plain
  text and were visible to 2,000 engineers and
  developers. According to Brian Krebs, a web
  security researcher, the number of affected
  accounts is estimated to be around 600 million,
  which is a fifth of the platform's total
  population.
