If you tell me a piece of software that is not a password manager wants to send the first five characters of the hashes of my password to a third-party, without my explicit opt-in, I will say no without hesitation and without the need to hear more details. Not even if it's a random bit in the hash.
Most of people here probably would say the same.
So it should be clear if you look back at this.
It's fascinating that you feel that way, but "I feel this is a threat" isn't really explaining why you feel it's a threat, especially when the purpose is to identify passwords whose full cleartext is exposed, which I'd rate as a far more substantial concern
