    Excellent use of hyphens there. Personally I would have gone with "asPlainText"

    Welcome to FTP; where your username and password are sent as clear text.

    Personally I think "Passwords stored as plaintext" would've been better.

    So a noob question, how should I store passwords? What hashing/encryption algorithm should be used?

    @GurpreetSK95 state of the art encryption algorithm is scrypt and argon. You should be using those. Most languages will have libraries with those implementations. If they are not available then use bcrypt or pbkdf2.
