    Google is using data from sites such as - https://haveibeenpwned.com/
    If you are getting that warning it means that password has been circulated (likely on the dark web) for hackers to purchase.  It means that password is no longer unique and should be abandoned for all future use and any sites where you may have used it changed.

    Hi RG2015,

    Ford Money user here. Have just logged in - no pop up warnings.

    I have experienced it before though on a different site, so to clarify - just because the pop up occurred when you are logging into Ford Money, it doesn't necessary mean that Ford Money have had the breach. All the check that Chrome has determined is that some portion or combination of the access information you entered (Username, Email Address, Password, Memorable Information etc.) has been marked by Google as being on a list of "hacked" account details, and hence they are prompting you to change them.

    I also use Ford Money and no warnings.
    Can I suggest you re-word the title as its quite libelous.

    I am grateful for and appreciate your comments but I don't believe title is libellous.

    If MSE believe that it is libellous then they are free to delete it.

    It would be more charitable to presume the thread title is merely grammatically incorrect, as it is lacks a question mark.

    Send them an email

    help@fordmoney.co.uk

    I emailed them and received a secure message today. They advised the following.

    Thank you for your recent email about the data breach notification.........This doesn’t appear to be an issue with the Ford Money website. However, to ensure that your online password is safe, I would highly recommending changing your password with us just in case...............Warm regards, Suzanne Lewsley Ford Money
