I am hoping to see this notification a second time to see which passwords need resetting. Where can I see the list of breaches?

Unfortunately this is the safest option. You can use a password manager to create more complex passwords and store then securely.

This is gonna take forever! Is this is really what I have to do? Change them all?

That is a good question. I will look into this and see what I can find.

Do you suppose it’s a keychain memory or cache issue? Any thoughts on how to clear it?

Once I got the message, I immediately changed the password right there without any delay.

I use a password app, Lockwise by Firefox. Because it’s browser based, it’s more easily transferable between iOS and PC environments. With all the passwords we need these days (and don’t forget you can’t reuse them 🙂 ). I don’t know how anyone could continue without a password manager

Is there a reason that I’m still seeing this message even after changing my password?

Another issue is for those who have a mix of devices other than Apple. Storing and accepting strong automatic passwords on one OS doesn’t automatically transfer it to different OS devices. Which makes for very annoying management…
