thanks for this detailed feedback, HotCakeX!

It's not hard to see how bundling these domains together and allowing saving of one username-password for all would be beneficial.

As it stands today, Microsoft Edge (and other Chromium browsers as well, but not 100% sure about all) classify passwords at the domain level. This works quite well for most use cases, but not in some special cases.

There are other efforts out there, as well, such as password-manager-resources/websites-with-shared-credential-backends.json at main · apple/password-manager-resources · GitHub that aspire to empower browsers and password managers with the same capability. We are aware of this.

Your feedback is valued, and we will take the same into consideration. There are no further updates to share on this, at the moment.

the good idea is (at least for now) warn us (with the news security feature if leak) if we have the same password multiple time, and have a button to ignore it with (same account option) or something like that.
With that we can have an additional security who prevent reused password and it will help you to create slowly a database of domaine who share username/password (if you implement that later).

Currently, even if the same username-password is reused on multiple sites they ALL get flagged in the alert as being at-risk. There is no common re-use warning for this scenario.

Password reuse is a common problem, but it can happen between both related and unrelated domains.
