Data leak?

Hey! I recently logged into my chess account and it said "this password has been part of a data leak" and asked if I wanted to change password. Is this an issue with chess.com or my laptop? Im on safari.

It means the password used in the account matched one that was found associated to your email on some other site that had been compromised.

It is recommended you don't use the same password on multiple sites.
