There are sites where you can plug in your password, to conduct such a test. I don't think that you should use such a site, because you are giving them your password. Find a site where you can download such a database of passwords, and then search that database of passwords, yourself, on your own computer, to see if your password is in there. One other recommendation: Do not use browser extensions. They can monitor 100% of your browser activity, including every password that you use to login to any sties. Browser extensions make using the internet convenient. But with convenience comes compromised security. The more you have of one, the less you have of the other. Most browser extensions are safe. But bad actors know that people love browser extensions, and so a small percentage of browser extensions contain malware -- and even some very popular browser extensions have been found to be doing nefarious deeds. As our host recommended, use a password manager. When downloading one, triple check that you are getting it from a legitimate source. The last thing you want to do is download a password manager from a bad actor. They would love nothing more than for you to create your passwords with their app, and then their app sends them all of your passwords. So be 100% sure that you are using a genuine password manager from a legitimate source. And never use a password in two different places (never re-use a password). Every site that you login to should have a separate, unique, strong password (and that is where a password manager shines, making doing so less of a chore). And make a copy of your password manager's database, on a separate storage device.
