Well,  you could still have put some link to the post. http://lifehacker.com/5-million-gmail-passwords-leaked-check-yours-now-1632983265 .

And  title dosen't say all, because itt seems that many of the leaked passwords have meen used with gmail addres(login to other sites than google) but not certainly as a gmail accounts password.

I have tried some, some worked, some didn't probably because the list was made long ago and leaked now.

Writing a script to test which works and which doesn't.

Thanks for the heads up, my email was on the list, Google did not give me any warnings. All is well now.

Well it seems passwords/addresses weren't really leaked from google so how they could have.
Basically your password have been phished or you have used same password in gmail and some other place where you use your gmail address to login also. And from that other place  your email and that password got "stolen".
