    You just save the first 50 digits typed after some email is typed, and you have all the passwords you need!

      This only applies if a username is a email

      And if it is then what happens when people actually email someone? Autocorrect during login?

        I don’t think they’re saying that method would yield 100% clean data but it would give you all the “necessary” data with the absolute bare minimum storage requirement. At some point people will log into their email and for most people if you have their email password you have the password they use for everything
