Password was found out?

[Makenai]

So when I logged in some time ago I got a warning saying my password got found in the files or something like that so I changed it but then I got the same message again. Since then I keep changing it whenever the message pops up but it keeps happening so I wanted to ask what this exactly is about and if others are affected as well? And yeah, I'm not really good with that kinda stuff so I'm sorry if its obvious to you. I would appreciate someone explaining to me.

@Makenai - five and a half years ago, there was a breach of the MD database. If you've changed your password since then (which it sounds like you have), you're clear on that front, though if you reuse passwords across multiple sites, any other sites with the same password should also get a change.

It's possible this is your browser throwing up a warning for your MD login, in which case you should investigate that warning and see where it leads. However, if in doubt, STOP, find a reasonably internet-capable friend, and ask them to help you. MD can't really provide effective support for anything outside of MD.
