It's not. It was accidentally changed to plain-text in 3.0 to support LDAP and a community member found it changed from 2.2.x. We've reverted it now to pass in MD5 hashed again. If you want to enable LDAP Auth, you would now need an additional step to modify the UI to pass in a plain-text password, if you wish.
