Why would Internet Archive have people's passwords stored?

The bad news is that you have an Internet Archive account, your username and email could well have been captured by the site's attackers.

Oh so it's not a problem for anyone without an Internet Archive login?

TIL, that you can have an account for the Internet Archive. I guess I use it differently than most people, but it's often a one-and-done use case when I visit.
