pywnedPasswords
This script uses the pwnedpasswords.com v2 api to check your password in a secure way (using the K-anonymity method)
The full Hash is never transmitted over the wire, only the first 5 characters. The comparison happens offline.
Special thanks to Troy Hunt (@troyhunt) for making this project possible.
