Nobody has access to passwords. They have access to password hashes, which are not the same thing. It would be the absolute most half baked of solutions to still be saving passwords in cleartext.
Which isn’t to say it doesn’t happen. I still occasionally get my password emailed back to me from small handbuilt websites. Which is part of why you should at the very least never use the same password twice.
Unless, you know, they sniff it during registration or login. Or modify the lemmy server to store them unhashed. You are absolutely trusting the server owners not to do any of that, and if you use a password you’ve used elsewhere you need to change it everywhere.
