Using a valid email address is not mandatory, but if you choose not to and you ever lose your password, we won't be able to reset it for you. If you're having any trouble registering or logging in, please contact us.
Your email and password will be transmitted and stored only after being hashed. Passwords are also salted server-side. Our javascript is not minified and can be easily inspected by any interested users. Log-in related code can be found in log_in.js.
