Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

Welp my two gmail address have been pwned. Good thing I don't use them and I have limited use of Google services.

Just to clarify; It doesn't necessarily mean that your Google account password is compromised. It lists data breaches of services where you used the provided email to register. The password you chose for that service at the time of the breach has been compromised. If you don't use the same password everywhere, or changed your password after the breach, your other accounts are not compromised.

Also, as OP said, use two-factor authentication. And please also use a password manager.

I understand that. I use KeePassXC and love it. I just notice that those gmail accounts get all the spam so I abandoned them.
