i found the following message in my gmail: [edited email from public] @gmail.com appeared in a new data breach

Firefox Monitor warns you about data breaches involving your personal info. We just received details about another company’s data breach.

Compromised data: Passwords, Email addresses

I went to the Dashboard (clicked on the link which was below the message above and gave my password for my gmail account. I'm concerned I just revealed my password to someone posing as Firefox Monitor. I did this on my iphone.

Was this a legit warning from Firefox or have I just revealed my password to a bad actor?


Here is the contact info at the top of the email:
