Let say my email appeared on Pwned list. And given most ( at least I think most ) people have zillions of web forums, services, sites, services using the email address.

What should you do now? I mean editing and changing password in everyone of them seems like a daunting task. And many of those services I no longer use anyway.

I am thinking of completely giving up the identity and start over, which seems easier. Or any other thoughts and comments?

Edit: I will definitely pay Apple a monthly fee if there is some simple and easy way to have online identity using email along with FaceID or Touch ID as 2FA. Getting rid of password while increasing security is something that should have happened but has yet to happened.

Just use a different e-mail and password for each web site.
