Net Weather Password data breach

[Cheese Rice]

Hello, has there been a data system breach on NW?

I received this just now when logging in from Google.

It's not that there's been a breach to your password on netweather, it's that chrome has spotted your password is the same as one which may have been breached elsewhere - as in you're probably using a common / non-random word as your password. So, update it to something more random and that'll stop it flagging - chrome has a built in function now which'll create a password for you.

It's something to do with a data breach on a Yahoo based site, possibly photobucket.

As explained, Chrome has detected that you use the same password on NW as you do on another website which has been associated with a potential data breach.

It's always good practice to use unique passwords on your accounts anyway; you can use something like LastPass to store them all to make your life easy!
