Dear ...while I appreciate the proactive alert I am a bit concerned with the “compared passwords associated” part of this message #plaintext 🤫
Conversation
That's not an indicator of plaintext passwords being stored by Glassdoor. Many companies now do this. They take their hashes and compare them to other hashes from hacked DBs that are now public. It's proactive, and this kind of message is usually pointing to password re-use.

I do hope not as that would imply a hash function matching the breach & no salt which is bad practice
I guess what you really mean is that they created a rainbow table of already broken & leaked password against the hash & salt of your entry & found a match

More likely they checked it when you last logged in and then discarded the hash?
Actually that does seem, more likely. I just hope they properly discarded it
In any case passwords are so 1970's, we need to move past them on to better things
