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?

thank you! this is very helpful.
yes this was indeed the notification
unfortunately i didn't click the link and closed the corresponding window.
i cant find anything about this in my keychain password safe, which is strange- right?
I would like to resolve the issue but can no longer find any information identifying the compromised passwords?

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.
