Storing passwords in plain text is a critical security vulnerability because if a database is compromised, all user passwords become immediately accessible to attackers. The solution is to use password hashing with libraries like bcrypt, which converts passwords into secure, irreversible strings through complex algorithms. This ensures that even if attackers obtain the hashed data, they cannot reverse the hash to retrieve the original passwords, significantly enhancing backend security and protecting user privacy.
