When one deletes their password, is it actually completely gone or just disabled?
What exactly do you mean? Deleting a password from a password manager? From an account? (is that even possible?)
Hmm.
How would one delete a password?
Do you mean account deletion or password change, or something different?
What service are you talking about when you talk about password deletion? Has this something to do with passkeys or replacing a password with other kinds of authentication methods?
Trying to establish a foundation, no disrespect meant, at all!
This is in the ”Meta” forum category, so presumably @Lukas is talking about a Privacy Guides forum (discourse) account and password.

Privacy Guides makes regular backups of all data
Privacy Guides keeps automated backups of all data it collects. These backups are stored for up to 30 days. Any time you delete personal data from our websites, a copy may be retained in backup archives until those archives are pruned.
Thanks for the added knowledge and clarification.
Good to know!
Will make sure to pay more attention to the category next time, reading that would have clarified the issue mostly beforehand.
Well might be good to add that basically no qualified project stores passwords but only a password hash.
So yeah we don’t store passwords in the first place. If you login via oauth or passkey and dont have a configured password there is also no hash kept by discourse afaik.
Might not be a bad idea
What do you mean?
Lol, I misread/interpreted what you said. With:
Only applying to this discussion, but my brain for some reason interpreted that as a suggestion of adding a note like that to the PG privacy policy I had linked.
Sorry for the confusion.
