Password compromised
I received a notification through Mac iOS that my Rolexforums password had appeared in a data leak. It suggested changing my password, which I did.

A little more info would be helpful..
Did iOS mention the data leak was for TRF only, or did you have to do a reset on all your relevant password accessed portholes? It would be odd if it were TRF only...

Rob, it’s my understanding that generally occurs when you use the same password for numerous accounts. Use the same password 12 times and one of those accounts get compromised you’re notified that the password for each account has appeared in a leak. Possible that is what has happened to the OP.
Quite possible that it has nothing to do with TRF other than his TRF password is the same as many others on the OP’s accounts. Or maybe not…
