If you register at a service you will send them the password in clear text. It is their responsibility to handle it securely and store it just as salted hash in their database. But it would be very easy to just log your plain password.
If you're using the same password with the same mail for all other account there just has to be one malicious service and they have access to all your accounts.
Even just using the same on you mail account would allow them to see where you're registered based on mails you receive and just use the "forgot password" to gain access.
This is why unique but moderately strong passwords are way more important than a single super strong password.

Fun fact. Reddit actually censors your comment if it recognizes it as your password. *****************
