Fix breached passwords fast?

I have well over 100 breached passwords according to Safari, so fixing each individually is a formidable task. Google are about to launch a single click solution. Is there anything similar in the pipeline from Apple?

Hello

When security is breached

Safari shows an alert as shown below.



For details:

Section: Password monitoring

Safari securely monitors your saved passwords, automatically keeping an eye out for passwords that may have been involved in a data breach. To do this, Safari uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your password information — even to Apple. If Safari discovers a breach, it can help you upgrade to Sign in with Apple when available, or automatically generate a new secure password.

I don’t know then. Sometimes when I log into a site a get a window pop up saying a particular password has been breached. It’s definitely an Apple thing and it directs me to a long list of stored key ring passwords, a lot of which have a yellow flag to update. I assumed it was Safari. Must be system level then I guess—you tell me. Anyway, that’s not my main question.
