Dgymbook never stores passwords in plain text. All passwords are hashed using a strong, industry-standard algorithm before being saved to the database.

What hashing means

Hashing is a one-way process that converts your password into a fixed-length string that cannot be reversed back to the original password. This means that even Dgymbook employees cannot see your actual password — only the hashed version is stored.

When you log in, Dgymbook hashes the password you enter and compares it against the stored hash. If they match, access is granted — without ever exposing the original password.

Additional protections

  • Salting — Each password hash is generated with a unique random value (a “salt”) to prevent attacks using pre-computed hash tables.
  • No password sharing — Passwords are never transmitted or logged in readable form.
  • Password reset — If you forget your password, Dgymbook uses a secure reset flow (via OTP or email link) to verify your identity before allowing a new password to be set.

Member login via OTP

Members log into the Dgymbook member app using their phone number or a one-time password (OTP) sent via SMS. This eliminates the need for members to manage a separate password altogether.
