Forums have to encrypt the password, that site may not, and while your argument is extremely valid and the passwords may not actually be saved, but at the same time why risk it? We're in the age where we should be very careful of our passwords and internet security. Back in highschool, I made a program like that which sent me back all the passwords (of course it was a joke and I deleted them) to prove that it can be done and no one is going to know. Most ToS are very loose in terms, while I know XenForo encrypts passwords, you know what encryption is, so I am not explaining it.. but yeah, they may not be stored, but they are briefly.
Don't use the same password for any of my accounts, just entered my forums one and there's no chance of them finding out where I'm using the password. If you use the same password for everything then you're stupid lmao
The other thing with this website is that it only goes by how long the average desktop pc would take to brute force your password. Essentially this just means trying every combination possible until it gets it. However, if someone was trying to brute force a password, they likely wouldn't be using an average pc. There's also many, many other ways and strategies for password cracking. So even when this site tells you it will take a hexillion years, you're still not safe
