PWNED RANGE CHECK

Breached Password Exposure Check

Breached Password Exposure Check

Verify whether a password has been compromised in breach datasets using a privacy-friendly k-anonymity query.

Reusing passwords across sites is common, but users rarely know if a specific password is in a public breach.

By hashing passwords locally and only querying a prefix, this tool tells you exposure risk without sending full credentials.

FAQ

Will my password leave my browser?

No, only a hash prefix is sent; the full password never leaves the user's device.

What threshold means unsafe?

Any positive count from the prefix search indicates the password exists in breach data and should be changed.
