I will explain one more time, because you seem to have a wrong understanding about security practices.
1. I don't care about my email address. I care about wrong security advice coming from a forum's "Global Moderator".
2. My post here was against the advice to use a webpage to check "security". Particularly to check your PASSWORDS online.
I think this is a timely reminder to review your cyber security practices and check your email address(s) and passwords against known leaks. https://haveibeenpwned.com is an excellent resource for this.
That phrase implies one should check own passwords against a webpage. WRONG!
And do that periodically maybe ("timely reminder" can be interpreted as "periodic reminder"). So not only a WRONG advice, but an advice to turn a one time mistake into a habit. Even WORST than wrong.
3. Yes, but said webpage has _reputation_. You don't get it. DO NOT WILLINGLY TELL YOUR PASSWORD. There are no exceptions from this. Any amount of reputation can be lost in a blink of an eye. The website can be compromised, the server admin can be blackmailed, an employee can stole the databases, man in the middle attacks, zero days exploits, drunk IT misconfiguring the website, social engineering, an evil villain taking over your gov while Batman was depressed that day and didn't come to rescue the city of passwords, etc., etc., etc. DO NOT GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO 3rd PARTIES. No exception.
NOTE:
Words were chosen intentionally to be harsher than in casual replies. Not trying to get a flame or to offend, stronger words were meant to make some ideas to stick:
- never willingly hand your passwords to 3rd parties
- something safe today might become a threat later, times changes
- trust nobody
- don't spill info
