I have had this happen to me Lucas, so thank you for the information on how to sort it out. Great video as always!

[@ak8559]

Thank you for good information.

[@cbeausoleil]

I just ran into this problem today. I’m glad I found your video. It makes me feel relieved it’s not too bad. Just got some work ahead of me. Do you recommend a password protection app? If so… which so you recommend?

[@arnaudguela631]

[@lucasmacinhome]

[@alhammohamed7101]

Thanks

[@lucasmacinhome]

You are welcome!

[@clasdavid5450]

I got scared at first but this was helpful!

[@lucasmacinhome]

Exactly my goal! Allay the fears. But also motivate you a little bit to change all your passwords. :)

[@MechZillaW]

I have a question, how long does a password take to be re-secured?

[@LUTHERVONTHECON]

Apple just notified me today that I have 295 accounts that are at high risk. Would you recommend me changing them ?

[@TbhEthan]

I have a question i got a text message saying my coinbase account has been leaked or accessed but i don’t have one should i be worried about anything?

[@jullancarlo]

This just happened to me, but I have my 2FA on, but im not sure how safe that is.

[@dxrkfire22]

It has happened to me before as well

[@CharCharJars]

I just got a notice on my iPhone that someone signed into a new MacBook under my phone number and iMessage, do I do the same thing as you were showing here?

[@MidnightSeth]

Hi, what did you do? it just happened to me but on my phone, it keeps appearing and asking me my password

[@Johns367]

do they have the passwords with the email? or are the passwords on a list alone and the emails are on a list alone? or are they together?

[@lucasmacinhome]

I don't really know for sure but I would assume it's all one list of email + password.

[@chloewang2097]

What happened if a gmail account password is compromised?

[@doodlebob2023]

just change it.

[@cjbrenner13]

Ive been an Apple user since the 1st release of OSX. NEVER a single compromise until this "feature" popped up. HUH!? Weird, random, or just exposed? Apple states its doesn't store this information - the same keychiain is still definitively on their servers and still being viewed byt this intrusive and completely questionable feature. Apple claims only 288 people have inquired about this in their questionable community knowledge base thats always shut down to new discussions to keep the amount of complaints isolated. Amazingly my apple ID was somehow not compromised huh!? So sad.

[@lucasmacinhome]

Thanks for sharing but that’s not quite how it works! Regarding the compromised password list.

[@blinky1pxp]

You should always add two step verification just to be safe

[@vardanhovakimyan7633]

👍👍👍

[@kallirblx5049]

Roblox is saying this to me what should I do?

[@lucasmacinhome]

Watch my video… 😉

[@lovingpaisley]

Omg same

[@davidjd123]

Its funny, I could go a long time before knowing someone is from canada, but as soon as they say "about" ( aboot) its over.

[@lucasmacinhome]

Hahaha I know I know ... I can't even say it the American way if I try!

[@Winobaz]

Never using Temu again😂

[@lucasmacinhome]

Wouldn't it be great to know for sure who leaked our info!!

[@MusicBoxVinyl]

This happened to me today right after buying a pair of shoes..

[@lucasmacinhome]

It's unrelated - but indeed an interesting coincidence!

[@rd1890]

So i have nothing to worry about?

[@Jason-hz5zc]

Just happened to me now

[@User170go2]

Me too guys

[@FalloutSquad-tw7iw]

Same

[@MusicBoxVinyl]

Same right here

[@lucasmacinhome]

Not exactly nothing to worry about; it's still good to change some passwords especially for your most important accounts like clouds and email and banks. But it's not a panic.
