I received an alert about my password being found in a data leak. Now what?

What triggers this alert? 

  • Your email and password may have been compromised due to a data breach.
  • An email and password that was part of a previous data breach may have been included in a large combined list of several data breaches.

What can I do?

  • If the company name or website is one that you do recognize, immediately change the password for the online account referenced in the alert.
  • Immediately change the password for any other online account that uses the same email and password as the one in this alert.
  • Use unique passwords for all your online accounts, which will limit the exposure if any are compromised.
  • Use Aura’s password manager to generate unique passwords and automatically change them if needed on many popular sites.
