Was your Gmail compromised in yesterday's attack?

Says my account was hacked, but then gives me the incorrect two letters for the start of my password

Out of interest - are those two letters the start of a password from any other site?

Presumably the leak came from a third party site so it would be your password from there rather than your gmail password.

Nope, I have a throwaway I normally use but this isn't it. Not sure what this is coming from, but I don't recall any passwords that start with these two characters.

for me it shows first two letters of the email itself. I might have used the username itself as a password in some random site, but this is/was not my gmail password :)
