Good afternoon,

I am getting the following notice when opening a new tab in Safari.

Is this something to be worried about? The OUP is showing as the Oxford University Press which I have accessed recently. Not sure about the other one. as I haven't tried any of the links from Google yet

Many thanks

The message seems reasonably clear. How hard is it to change those two passwords?

Yes. Your reuse of passwords will potentially lead to one or more online accounts to be compromised.

Do you use the same password for your online banking?

Thanks, I don't think I used passwords for this account.

I was thinking it had given out information on other sites I use which would be more problematic (e.g, banking as you say)

I'll look into it.
