    Nobody is gonna be using a quantum computer to “crack email hashes” of Plex users in a few years… I’m not even sure there is a speedup to hash cracking with quantum computers.

    But depending on the hashing algorithm used, it’s likely pretty easy to crack hashes of email addresses today with a normal computer. They’re not particularly high entropy.
