That isn't what he's talking about. He's referring to how passwords are stored in the system's database. There are good ways to do it with varying levels of security but storing them in plaintext is the absolute worst way.

I can't say for sure how they actually do it, but if a system can email you your password when you forget, then they might not be storing it in plaintext but are definitely not doing it the best way.
