So for as far as I understand it:

Yes, this is a big issue on the developers part as this should not have happened without consent.

No, this is not a direct security breach for every and all home assistant users. You do not need to immediately change all your passwords (due to it being partial hashes)

Did I understand correctly? I'm not that deep into how all this works as I am mostly a enthusiast user without a lot of computer science knowledge

No to both.

Its a long-standing and documented feature. Included in that documentation is how to turn it off, which was added a few years back iirc.

Its brought up every once in a while by people.who don't understand cryptographic hashes or the hibp tools. Usually with a bunch of posts about how passwords are being leaked (they aren't).
