If login credentials are leaked on a site, it does not necessarily mean that an attacker has accessed the database. He could have just exploited an XSS or other client-side vulnerability and obtained login credentials from users who only followed the advice that they should use a password manager. So please, if recommending password managers, supply that users turn off autofill or be set to fill only upon user request by clicking in password manager's UI.
