password subject of a data leak

Since the last macOS Big Sur update numerous of husband's login's indicate that the password may have been seen in a data leak? I have changed passwords however this is somewhat concerning. Any thoughts/suggestions ?

Password appeared in data leak Using the Big Sur 11.1. Reenabled Keychain on my computer, then kept seeing this message come up for the various websites after I started saving the passwords in Keychain. The first time, I immediately changed the password for the website. When this started showing up for the other websites (different websites with different passwords), then I said to myself - hold on. It seems that there is a high probability that Keychain is the problem, not that all of my passwords have been compromised. Apple needs to address this.

All you can do is change the passwords, over the years billions have been compromised, I can check & find one of mine in a data leak from 2011, not a problem that PW is long gone.
