The only leak mentioned in Nexus mods news (or Google) is dated 19 December 2019. Are you sure there has been a new leak? I can’t find any reference to anything recent.

You are sharing passwords across different accounts? That’s not good. How else would one account affect another, unless they accept you Google account for logins?
I would definitely consider adding some two factor authentication to that account, and the Google auth. app for iOS works very well. I also use Lastpass, to ensure each account has a unique password, it too is protected by two factor authentication, including a Yubikey.

Better use a offline password manager (like Keepass)

Nothing on this that’s current. Do you have a link to the reporting?
Authy is my 2FA app of choice!
i use 2fa too, no problem, just told you about what google told me. the weird activity is receiving emails with 2fa codes of EA games, Ubisoft and other ■■■■ that i really dont care but all os these really used at that time, same email and pass of nex. So i dont know more about, google just made me the warning
I avoid all cross logins/permissions especially with smartphone apps regarding for example google accounts.
Many Apps want to use the google account to force an easier registration. Attention.
On the other side you see all devices in the google device manager. If there are unknown devices logged it’s time to change the password immediately.
2 factor authentication is another option to be safe. But it’s time consuming.
For the WIN Account there is a 2 factor WIN APP for Smartphones available, faster.
