Is this legit: resecure your account
Opening up safari I got a message saying 'Compromised Password' due to a data leak. plus a link to click. Is this legit? If not, how does it end up showing in my browser? how worried should i be?

If this is what you are seeing, it is legit.
Even though this is about iOS Safari, this applies to macOS Safari as well.
Section: Password monitoring
Safari securely monitors your saved passwords, automatically keeping an eye out for passwords that may have been involved in a data breach. To do this, Safari uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your password information — even to Apple. If Safari discovers a breach, it can help you upgrade to Sign in with Apple when available, or automatically generate a new secure password.
