compromised passwords

[Nate Bowman]

HaveIBeenPwned is only good for official data breaches which some are just
out of your control like the Exactis breach, its just a good way to get an
idea of what could possibly be out there.

If you are really worried about your password security, change your
passwords, try out LastPass or Dashlane and export your passwords from
google and import them into an encrypted password manager and then delete
your passwords from Chrome.
