I sign in to TV using my Google account. I haven't recieved any hack notifications.

(I also leave my Car unlocked and Windows down ... in the Garage. It has increased the quality of my Life considerably)

I already covered this (see below). The one that you're talking about is the first type. What you need to do is sign into your broker from TV and allow Google to store and manage the password. Once you do that, you can go to password manager and run a scan for leaked passwords to see if that pass is already compromised. Or you can simply type this in the chrome browser: chrome://password-manager/checkup?start=true

TradingView has 2 passes. One for their own platform and the other for linking to your broker

TradingView has 2 passes. One for their own platform and the other for linking to your broker. I ain't too concerned about the first one. It's the second one that showed up on Google's trove of leaked passwords. Anyway, I toughened it up so even if it gets leaked I feel safe knowing that it will take some 15 million years to crack it. That's right, go ahead ya punk, just make my day!

The second password to log into your broker's account is your username and password for your broker's account. So it's not your TradingView account that got hacked; it's your broker's account's login info that got hacked. So it's your broker that had a data breach?

You trust google to manage your passwords?!!!

I'm not the trusting type with password managers, so I keep my own keys (not passwords) in a securely encrypted file. Then I hash the keys into the actual passwords with a password generator roughly similar to the one I posted here. Then I copy and paste the actual passwords as needed.

Using a password generator like that after rearranging the characters in the secret key inside it makes the password generator unique to you. Of course, one would have to keep the password generator and the keys to the actual passwords secure and backed up.

I use the same passwords everywhere and ETrade has said they got hacked and my password is known and the dark web has it and I should probably change it.

One day get this someone tried to log on to my Apple acct! From some outside state I got an Apple prompt that someone was signing in and I changed that shit quick.

It's a scary world.

I use the same passwords everywhere...

Don't you think that is bad policy? I mean, once your password is known on one site, then all your sites are compromised.

Sheesh. You need a different password for each site you need one on.

The simple method of 8 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special symbols is a total of 722 trillion possible combinations.

That is not getting hacked. Ever.
