A good reminder.
I have been using the recommended "Have I Been Pwned" for several years.
I have 4 email accounts - 2 with my local ISP, a yahoo account and a gmail one.
The gmail account is the only one that has NOT been compromised in any data breach.
"Have I Been Pwned" send out emails advising of any breaches to enable you to immediately change your password.The last one I received was in 2016, but I change my passwords often anyway as a security measure.
