:I don't know but the likely explanation is as follows. Let's say your Misplaced Pages password is 123456. Every now and then, you need to log in at Misplaced Pages and you enter Giano + 123456. Your browser noted what you entered (Giano + 123456) and queried a database (see Jehochman's reply) to ask if that combination of user name and password has been published on the internet. Apparently the answer was ''yes''. The cause may be that long ago you went to some website where you had to enter a user name and password, and you entered Giano + 123456. Don't do that! It is a bad idea to re-use a password because the other website might have been hacked and Giano + 123456 was one of many credentials stolen and copied onto a hacker's forum. Or, someone else happened to use Giano + 123456 as their user name and password at another website which was later hacked. However it happened, the combination is published and if someone finds it, they could log on as you at Misplaced Pages. The solution is to visit ] and click Change password. Before doing that, make up a good password (8 characters or more, not just one word but with a couple of extra characters) and write it down in a couple of different places. Do not use the Misplaced Pages password at any other website. What I said about a good password is good enough for here.
