Use the "passwords" feature to check if one of yours is compromised. If it shows up, never ever reuse those credentials. They'll be baked into thousands of botnets etc. and be forevermore part of automated break-in attempts until one randomly succeeds.

Let's make a master list of all the emails leaked with their passwords, what could go wrong?

It's exactly how it worked. A company called synthient made a master list with all the leaked emails + all leaked passwords. Then they were hacked and it leaked

Someone should make a list of all the leaked credentials that got leaked.
