A quick note on the functionality of Google password manager. Because Google can see/read your password, if that password is part of a breach (EVEN IF THE BREACH OCCURED ON ANOTHER SITE WHERE YOU USE THE SAME PASSWORD), the notification will pop up.
With that being said, it doesn't hurt to manually check if your accounts have been compromised by using a free database like haveibeenpwned.com.
It also doesn't hurt to change your password periodically and use a unique password for every account (often with the use of a password manager or password vault like Keeper, LastPass, etc).

I was neither confirming or denying a breach took place, just notifying the group what I experienced.. no harm in changing you're password David.
