As for the original question, the "This password has appeared in a data breach" messages can be generated by macOS, and can indicate a password that is, well, compromised. Re-using passwords can be a serious problem in recent years, as passwords become known when services are breached, and the account and its known passwords is then tried, well, everywhere.

Quote:
Weak, reused, and leaked passwords are either indicated in the list of passwords (macOS) or present in the dedicated Security Recommendations interface (iOS and iPadOS). If the user logs in to a website in Safari using a previously saved password that’s very weak or that’s been compromised by a data leak, they’re shown an alert strongly encouraging them to upgrade to an automatic strong password.
