First of all, big thanks for including this automated additional layer of security. It's great! Especially for us who have the bad habit of reusing passwords. But there are situations where weak or common passwords don't pose that much of a threat, like in local networks for instance. What I'm looking for is a filter feature that would allow for exclusion of specific addresses or ranges, and/or the possibility to accept/dismiss a specific site warning from the Alert system.
Reason for this is that if you get flooded with alerts, for which a great deal are not relevant (as mentioned above) there is a risk of missing the real threats. Also, repetitive warnings may cause a kind of warning fatigue; a negative "cry wolf" effect, which defeats the purpose of the warning system.
An implementation similar to other "exceptions" like the one for Cookies and Site Data or Logins and Passwords in the settings page would be nice, and hopefully requires a smaller coding effort. Also, an Accept or Dismiss button within the Vulnerable Password field that would add the current address into the exception list, would be a user friendly addition.
