/Pwned Password Checker

Check if a password has been exposed in data breaches. This tool uses the Have I Been Pwned API via the K-Anonymity model, meaning your actual password never leaves your browser.

External API

On request, sends the first five characters of a SHA-1 password hash to the HIBP API. The password itself is not sent.

Test a Password

Type a password below to check its breach status safely.

Is this safe?

Yes. This tool uses the K-Anonymity model.

When you type a password, your browser creates a SHA-1 hash of it. It only sends the first 5 characters of that hash to the server.

The API returns hundreds of suffixes that match those 5 characters. Your browser then checks the list locally. Your actual password (and even its full hash) is never transmitted.
