My browser says a password was compromised. What does that mean?
Reviewed answer
The password may appear in known leaked data; verify the alert in your password settings.
- Open your browser or device's password settings directly instead of following an email or popup link.
- Change the affected password on the real service and anywhere else you reused it.
- Check recent account activity and recovery details, then enable two-step sign-in if available.

The leaked password still works or you find unfamiliar activity. The alert alone does not identify which company was breached.
