Raw password storage is more common than we like to believe. A simple way for webapps to communicate that raw passwords are not being stored would be convenient. A small 'NORAWPW' image in the footer perhaps. it would ease my worries, especially with cryptocurrency related webapps.

Unless the footer image in question was awarded by some kind of auditing body (with links back to their page so a visitor could verify the site really was audited), an idea like that has no fangs - for example, what's to stop a site storing them in plaintext because "it's easier, and we'll fix it when we have time" but throwing the image in the footer anyway to ensure they don't lose users in the meantime?
