Suhrid_Palsule I have received alerts that passwords have been leaked for localhost. I don't have IIS, apache or any web server running locally. I recognize one of the usernames, but of course I cannot change any credentials for localhost. I've attached a screenshot from my profile settings. How were these leaked passwords for localhost detected? Thanks in advance.

MicrosoftHi desertcoder, thank you for your feedback. All username-password pairs stored in Microsoft Edge are automatically scanned to check if they've been leaked online in a previous breach. This includes localhost sites as well. For alerts that you might not want to act upon right now, you can move the same to the 'Ignored alerts' section.
