Some kid threatened to steal my mc account using something called "DeHash". Can somebody explain because now I'm curious.
What is dehash?

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Dehashing is a term for reversing a hash, you might be asking what's a hash, a hash is a type of way to encrypt passwords and make them impossible to decrypt. To put hashing into a more simple explanation it's like trying to take a smoothie and making it back into the fruits used, it's impossible. Now going into a more detail, hashes are long complex strip of letters and numbers that cannot be reversed, now people tend to ask how does the server know the user used the correct password. For this when the user types the password the server will hash it before it even gets to the website. For when it reaches it will match the hashes and let the user in. So If someone ever says they will "dehash your password" don't be that concerned as it's simply just not possible (this is for secure websites only! As non secure ones won't hash your password). However I'd recommend enabling 2 factor authentication if not already enabled!
Hope this helps!
