An IP address that starts with 169.254 is called a link-local address. It is assigned by the operating system when the DHCP client cannot contact a DHCP server to obtain a valid IP address. This may indicate a problem with the DHCP server, the network connection, or the DHCP client configuration. A link-local address is not routable and cannot communicate with devices outside the local network segment.Reference: =Troubleshoot problems on the DHCP server,Windows 10 not getting IP address from DHCP,Fix duplicate IP address conflicts on a DHCP network,DHCP client may fail to obtain a DHCP-assigned IP address,Setting IP Address Using DHCP Server

A warning icon might appear in the Security Recommendation window for a password in Passwords settings if the password meets any of the following criteria:The password is reused on another website. This means that the same password is used for more than one saved password across different domains.This can make the accounts vulnerable to credential-stuffing attacks, where attackers try the same credentials on other services to compromise additional accounts1.The password appeared in a data leak. This means that the password has been compromised by a data breach and exposed online.This can allow attackers to access the accounts that use the leaked password or try to guess other passwords based on the leaked one1.It's a commonly used password or it's easily guessed. This means that the password is weak and may be easily cracked by an attacker. This can happen if the password uses words found in a dictionary, common character substitutions, patterns found on a keyboard, or repeated sequences.These patterns are often used to create passwords that satisfy minimum password requirements for services, but are also commonly used by attackers attempting to obtain a password using brute force1.Reference:1: Password security recommendations - Apple Support
