Oh so it’s not a problem for anyone without an Internet Archive login?
TIL, that you can have an account for the Internet Archive. I guess I use it differently than most people, but it’s often a one-and-done use case when I visit.
You need an account to upload stuff. The Internet Archive isn’t just archiving websites, you can also upload book scans to them, rips of old floppies and discs for old software, even old TV shows and movies. For example, the entirety of the Computer Chronicles series is available for download there.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !pcgaming@lemmy.ca
No game suggestions, friend requests, surveys, or begging.
No Let’s Plays, streams, highlight reels/montages, random videos or shorts.
No off-topic posts/comments, within reason.
Use the original source, no clickbait titles, no duplicates.
(Submissions should be from the original source if possible, unless from paywalled or non-english sources.
If the title is clickbait or lacks context you may lightly edit the title.)
Why would Internet Archive have people’s passwords stored?

If you want to borrow a digitized bok from their library you need a login.

Wow. That’s cool.
Yes, as with all password leaks, they only leak the passwords they have.
Because of the nature of the Internet archive, I too was wondering this.
