I got a notification on my iPad saying my password for this website has appeared in a data leak so I changed my password & all good but now it's come up again on my iPad so I have no idea what's going on. Can anyone shed some light on this?

If you used the same password on other sites, or if it’s simple enough for it to be thought of by someone else when creating a password (for example, more than one person can come up with something like “Z3lda1998”), that could also be the reason.

Yeah, what @Eel said. iOS uses a database of leaked passwords and compares yours against it. It doesn’t mean it was leaked from this site, just that someone somewhere (maybe you) used that password that was found in a previous leak on another website. There is a site called “have I been p0wned” that gives you more details.

That's probably what it was coz I checked on Google & got nothing about my account on here so probably just iOS. Thank you 😊
