 Is there an easy way to check for breached passwords?


Yes there is.

If you use Troy Hunt's "Have I Been Pwned" website, and you put in each of your email addresses, Troy's site will tell you who has "given away your password" in a data breach, when it happened, and what information was disclosed.

Any passwords that have been breached are no longer safe to use in connection with your email address (as that email / password combination will be for sale in "breach lists" on the dark web) and need to be changed immediately.
