Basic Information
Name: Have I Been Pwned
Category: Password Managers (Worth Mentioning)
URL: https://github.com/HaveIBeenPwned
Description
Have I Been Pwned is a well-established service to check if a username or password was leaked in a dump. It has recently been open-sourced and will be now fed with data coming from the FBI in addition to the other data sources they have. It is already used in several password managers to check for compromised passwords, such as in BitWarden Pro.
Although some people believe it is risky to send passwords to this website (as with any) as data can be intercepted or logged, others claim the system is made to ensure this is not possible:
This should be verifiable and auditable independently since the code is now open-sourced.
Why I am making the suggestion
This is the reference in password leak detection, which is a crucial part of risk assessment.
My connection with the software
None.
