wow like really it important information i have heard for the first time

Even if now an attacker or employee steals the password database its useless for them since they cant generate the passwords from the hashes.
like really ??

Yeah, the only way an attacker has to obtain the password is to hash and check it character by character.
This is called brutforce attack. And this needs a lot of computing power. You can check here how long it would take to bruteforce your password approx.: https://howsecureismypassword.net/
