Compromised Password Alert

Hazel Greenberg wrote:

At first I thought the alert was phishing, but I looked it up and found it to be real. It was a website that I don't even remember I ever used, but when I looked it up in Safari preferences, sure enough it was in the list. But when I clicked to get into that website with the username and password that Safari automatically provided, the password did not work. I then asked to get a link to reset the password, but it never came after trying several times. So I'm thinking that the compromised password is, for some reason, wrong at this time, and I don't need to worry about it because I don't use that website.

So I have two questions: (1) Did whoever compromised the password somehow make this happen and I need to change it anyway? (2) Is there a way to disassociate myself from this website altogether?

If it is outdated I would not be concerned.

You can delete it if you no longer need the credential yes

It is not a perfect science. Even if you delete/forget the website—it is not to say it won't appear as a warning again.

Do your due diligence and leave it at that; compromised list of passwords get past around on the web...

Safari>Preferences>Passwords is the same as as >System Preferences>Passwords.

I would not waste a lot of time on the convolutions & idiosyncrasy's of the "Compromised Password Alert."

Anytime you can take advantage of two factor authentication seems to be a plus...
