Thanks, Robert I ask because my browser alerted me that the password I used had been hacked at some time. I usually change passwords on all of the sites I log in to very frequently for security purposes but have never thought to do this one until now, so I started looking to change it. Thanks again. | ||

Browser Alert? Seems unlikely a web browser can directly determine that a password has been hacked. What browser are you using? Perhaps the advisory was bogus from a malware infection or a (pop-up) advertisement / solicitation for some sort of security software? Or was it via an e-mail that you received? I get e-mail advisories almost daily from various eastern, Asian, and Russian sources warning that this or that e-mail password has been hacked and the perp installed software to take control of my webcam and keyboard, took screen-caps of porn content, webcam shots of me watching it, captured my contact list, and will send the images to all of them unless I pay hundreds of dollars ransom to a BitCoin account. The tricks are that 1) while the e-mails referenced are valid addresses, all of them but one are forwarders that don't have any passwords that can be hacked ... and 2) I don't have a webcam (well, I do but haven't used it in several years and it's disconnected from the computer) ... which makes ALL the warnings bogus. | ||

Google Chrome. Google has a password manager function that will generate secure passwords for you, but it will also notify you when you are using a password that has been Hacked and compromised. I had to log on to the site to write this and there is a big red notice on the top part of this page I am typing right now. | ||

use the snippingtool and take a screenshot of the message please.
I ask because I have not heard of Chrome's password manager checking against a known passwords list and am concerned you may have a bad extension installed. windows key + r to get the run dialog, type snippingtool press enter. This post was last edited 06/12/2019 at 17:47 | ||

Yes, it is a Google Chrome Extention. It also creates long complicated passwords. | ||

Yes Glenn is correct, that is exactly right there was never any reported breach ever here. Many people use the same password across many sites and if any one of those sites get breached that specific password goes into their database. All it's saying is that specific password he used is in their database and was taken from a site somewhere.
