As you’ve used the same password elsewhere, google is telling you it’s been exposed and you shouldn’t also use it here. Has nothing to do with this forum, and everything to do with your need to go cleanup your credentials across the internet where you’ve created accounts.

Thanks

Hello, I just began this account. The moment I created my account with my new password I got a warning from google chrome stating my "password is compromised" and that I need to change it for all sites I use that have the same password. 

Can anyone explain why this has happened? Is this anything to be seriously concerned about? This is an https site so my information should be private. 

Thanks, sorry if I am posting in the wrong section I am new to the site.
