Clearly they're actually storing them using very strong hashing techniques but then using super secret technology from MI6 to reverse them if they get forgotten.

No no, that's back to front. GCHQ develop the super secret technologies and do all the listening and decrypting.

MI6 uses that intelligence (as well as intelligence they've gathered themselves).

MI6's "super secret technology" is a rubber hose in some friendly country with no human rights laws.
