It does not mean that lemmy is less secure, but yes, it means that malicious app developers will have a much easier time stealing login credentials because entering them inside the app is already the norm. However this is definitely a feature that can be added so it does not mean anything bad long term

Thank you for explaining. :-)

So that would mean that there are no 100% secure Lemmy apps, that do have 0auth or something to ensure that bad developers don't steal login information?

EDIT: Added second part
