why i cannot resolve my email accout password after data breach Hi,

[jraju]

Hi, firefox informed me of a recent data breach of my gmail.
it was given as the data breach occurred due to Aptoide
i never had downloaded anything from the site, and the app could not be found easily.
To resolve i opened gmail settings and changed passwords to some of the accounts and then changed the password of my gmail account.
i noted that firefox uses "Have ibeen pwned " website to inform me of the breach.
So, i searched and found the haveibeenpwned website and checked my gmail account again.
now the result shows in green, hence i think that my gmail issue has been resolved.
i checked for one of yahoo mail account, and i noticed , so many data breaches dated back to 2016 onwards. some were single data breach and some were numbers as 2000 separate data breaches in a single entry.
i do not know how to locate all the breaches but changed my yahoo account password and went to the same website for re check.
the check did not resolve the issue as the same thing have been repeated on the page
In yahoo mail account also there was not that much passsword stored.
how to resolve this , experts

You might want to setup MFA. Google 2-Step Verification

Also I suggest that you set up your other email as a backup for a password reset in case you get locked out or hacked.

Data breach include, that already my data has been compromized by those sites.

Normally Google sends you a message if your account is logged into by another IP. A website may be hacked and millions of password stolen but it doesn't mean you have been hacked

Hi, but when i visit the website, again, it shows that my email is pwned.
how to solve this problem
i enabled 2 level , one pw and enable yes in my mobile when i login
still the website shows that it is pwned.
Does it mean that it is a kind pf past history.
do i need to worry and check elsewhere else

Hi

I've had my email account >10 years, and its marked as pawned.
However ITS not been hacked
Now i expect this, looking at the sites i have used/shared my address with HAVE been breached.

It does not allways mean you have been compromised, more a warning.
However saying this - It depends upon the level of detail the breached site held on you.
(my pawned sites only required the address for registration, no big deal)
In the worst case scenario i would create a new email account

The Pawned Database is updated once a site reports a breech, so its just like any AV update could be updated every couple of hours

you cannot do anything about other sites/apps that have been hacked

info re Aptoid
Aptoide Android App Admits Data Breach, Suspends Sign-Up Option

Hi, Thanks for your clarifications. The deal seem to be big, so I am aksing if i could geet a solution. Now , i opted for 2way verification, pw and mobile Yes to login. Will it protect my account in future
From your reply, i could gauge that the pwned items are past histories and nothing could be done about it.
But i must repeat that , after making changes in password and again on recheck at the website, at one time, the site shows my gmail as not paned.
this created a confusion on this
Chaning of email would affect me in so many ways, that it is the one i am using for years from 2011 and so all correspondences are made using this email.
Is it enough, if i opt to two way authentication or should i do more things
I am worried more about yahoo meil that shows more pwned incidents and the number baffles me
