A comment on Firefox Monitor.

How does it differ from the haveibeenpwned service?

https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Both offer email alerts but Firefox Monitor said my old email was found in 11 data breaches while haveibeenpwned said 14.

When you submit the search, there is a message below the Show All button which states that the breach data is provided by Have I Been Pwned. So it shouldn't differ at all really. Hopefully this is just the first steps by Mozilla towards creating this kind of service.

More services like this can't be a bad thing. If haveibeenpwned disappeared tomorrow, we'd have no replacement
