Depends on the execution, honestly. I can see them having it reference saved passwords or usernames in chrome and cross-check with those in leaks saved by, say HaveIBeenPwned, or just a checklist of if the site has been breached. Hard to know immediately at face value, though.

It uses k-anonymity just like HIBP. Not sure what they check against, however.
