If you don’t know which web site uses a particular password, how do you ever login to that website?


Reread the parent post more closely. It does not tell them: A) which site nor B) which password.

The parent can log in because they have a map of site<->password. But without either the site or the password, the notification that an email address is compromised is useless.
