Am I at risk or not? Like, what exactly does it look for? Your email address? If I use a different password for different sites am I at risk? If I change my password does it still say I've been pwned?

it's telling you if your information has been exposed, either in a data breach (a company leaked your info), or a "paste" (a hacker listing somewhere online contained your info). the info that is associated with your email address varies from breach to breach.

if you test your password and it comes back red, then somewhere online there's a listing that contains that password.
