But the rest of the passwords wouldn't be in plain text...

  But you know the password that has just been entered. Iterate over every hashed password. Hash the plaintext password you know, using the salt from the hashed password. If it's a match, record that the 2 users matched. Loop to next hashed password. If they were plaintext it wouldn't need a linear search because the column could be indexed.

    Hashed and salted.
