I would be cautious about viewing any Lemmy.world communities right now, and the Beehaw admins should make sure their credentials are locked down in case they get targeted next.

    Why would a “foreign” instance need to know my credentials from my local instance just to allow me to browse that foreign instance?

      That’s the problem, they don’t. If you have them stored anywhere on the device you view the communities with, your credentials are not safe.
