Help with This password has appeared in a data leak I got this notification after using the Safari password extension in Edge on a PC, but now I can't replicate it or find any more information. “This password has appeared in a data leak, putting this account at high risk of compromise. You should change your password immediately” Is there a way to find out more?

Compromised Password Alert 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?

You need to use whatever the website provides to change your password; the location will vary from site to site, but usually is in your “profile” settings.

Does that also change in safari or do I have to change that also?

You will need to enter the new password the next time you log into the site; safari should ask it you want to update the saved password.
