Default Passwords compromised

Anyone else getting a message within Google Chrome that the passwords on this Forum have been compromised?

My usual browser is Opera, I just tried logging with Chrome and Firefox but nothing out of the ordinary on any of them.

No problems with passwords at this end, and I use chrome on two devices to access AFF.

The only time I get that message from Chrome is when it notices I'm using the same password for too many different sites. It usually doesn't have much to do with the site(s) in question.

Default Re: Passwords compromised

It is always best never to use the same password twice on any site, bank account, etc.

That way if a site, or financial institution is ever hacked and passwords stolen, it can never be used to gain access to any other site by that user.

People who use the same password for multiple sites are the ones who tend to get caught out and are at the most risk.
