Are the new “security recommendations” accurate?

Am on the public beta and when I went into my passwords, I was shocked to see it flag 269 accounts for security issues.

I had a security breach about 6 months ago and took many pains to rectify it so I’m not sure if it is still flagging these accounts.

Some say the password has appeared in a security breach. But it’s a password I only recently started using on some accounts.

I haven’t had any issues to my knowledge of my accounts being recently hacked, charges, etc.

Don’t know if I should chalk this up to being a new feature and still being buggy or actually be concerned. I wish Apple would give you more information like where the supposed breach occurred.

You can go to haveibeenpwned.com to check your email address for compromises, but do yourself a huge favor and do not reuse passwords between sites.

Thanks. I’ve used that site before and just did again. All of the breaches were over a year ago and before I made a lot of password changes.

I think I’m good unless Apple has other more recent info that I’m not aware of. At least that website lists the actual breaches, giving you more to go on.
