The alert told me that several of my passwords had been compromised in a recent security breach and suggested that I change them right away. In early June, news broke of a new password leak in what may be the largest of all time. A user on a popular hacker forum posted a 100GB .txt file with an estimated 8.4 billion passwords therein. When I checked to see what they were, no fewer than 20 of my passwords had “appeared in a data leak” which put the accounts at “high risk of compromise.” Apple’s password manager recommended I change the passwords right away. Apple’s password manager also signals which passwords are being reused and should be updated.
