Post should've been titled "1.3 billion passwords were exposed", because, even though the number is slightly smaller, it actually represents something much more important.

The number of passwords is probably smaller. ;)
~1.3e9 passwords, ~1.9e9 (account, password) tuples, if I understood
The joke, presumably, was that many people share the same shitty password (e.g. 123456, password1, etc).
