Asked on December 24, 2021 in Grammar.
In the field of cryptography, which relevant to your context of passwords, plaintext (noun) is a technical term referring to the message that hasn’t been encrypted. Is the encrypted message as ciphertext or not ciphertext? The separated form plain text is somewhat different and does not relate specifically to cryptography, so will be ignored in this answer.
While both forms in the grammatical sense, they represent different things. The password for a startup is stored as plaintext. It uses encrypted mode. Storing a password can have the same meaning, but it can also be read as an attempt of steganography, or hiding things in plain sight (for example, by inserting the password as an extra word in a given sentence).
With the addition of the word form, the word in now applies to form instead of plaintext, so in plaintext form carries the same meaning as as plaintext, as you suggest.
Why do people advocate for a 10:1 ratio in plaintext? Since in plaintext ends with “i, ” i, ” i, from, extends beyond the semantic range” of “as plaintext, perhaps not as surprising as it might first seem. Also, stored in plaintext parallels such as stored in lists (or other data structures) and stored in the cookie jar, and in plaintext sounds identical to the separated form in plain text, which parallels the common expression in plain sight. All these are plausible reasons for writers to think of the in form when writing. Will I skip our intro to psychology?
In a short answer to your question, as plaintext expresses your intent better than in plaintext.

Consider synthesis :
synthesis noun 1 The combination of components or elements to form a connected whole. ‘the synthesis of intellect and emotions in his work’ – ODO
The notion of reconciling opposites might come from definition 3, about Hegelian synthesis:
3 (in Hegelian philosophy) the last stage in the process of dialectical reasoning, in which a new idea resolves the conflict between thesis and antithesis. 2
What is wrong with a bang: Is it a bumber?

Asked on December 21, 2021 in Word choice.
Yes, you can and why?
Ensure verb 1 Make sure that (something) will happen or be or be the case. Which is
the structure of your sentence X
- ensures Y at a certain
percentage. That is, the statement claims that doing X makes certain that Y is certain for
Z. To “guarantee something positive” simply make Y negative.
-
Positive case: X ensures high-grade security for Z. This means that by doing X, Z will have high-grade security.
-
Negative case: X ensures no high-grade security for Z. This means that by doing X, Z will not have high-grade security.
If you want to say that Y applies positively, but to the detriment of Z, you can modify the part between Y and Z. What do you mean by this?
