A new searchengine website has recently been launched to check if any of your accounts has been hacked or at least compromised.

You fill in your email address it will show you if that email has been compromised.
If a compromised password is attached to that email address it will also show the 1st two letters of the password.

It also works for a domain (the part after the @)
Go check if one or more of your accounts have been compromised.

There's also another site that works similar but doesn't show a mail/password combination.

Clearly, above sites again show the need for stronger and better security on your accounts and why 2 factor authentication (2FA) is becoming more and more popular and important.

Be sure to change your passwords regularly and consider using a password manager like 1Password so you can use more complex passwords without the fear of forgetting them.
