Zero-knowledge architecture: All checks run locally or anonymously. We never see or store your data.
Check If Your Password Is Leaked
Test any password against 10+ billion compromised credentials from global data breaches. Your password is never sent over the wire.
Comprehensive Technical Analysis & Guide
In-depth breakdown, safety recommendations, and operational mechanics.
1The Threat of Credential Stuffing & Rainbow Tables
Automated cyberattack bots execute billions of automated login attempts daily using dictionaries compiled from public data breaches. If you reuse the same password across multiple platforms, a single minor breach compromises your email, banking, and social accounts.
2Mathematical k-Anonymity Protocol Breakdown
k-Anonymity ensures individual privacy in cryptographic queries. By truncating the SHA-1 hash to a 5-character prefix, the server queries a partition containing hundreds of plausible hash suffixes. The final match determination occurs in memory, preserving zero-knowledge privacy.
3Password Entropy & Brute-Force Feasibility
An 8-character lowercase password has ~200 billion combinations and can be brute-forced on a modern GPU in under 1 second. A 16-character passphrase containing uppercase, numbers, and symbols requires trillions of years to compute.
4Adopting Modern Passkeys & Multi-Factor Authentication
Enable Hardware FIDO2 / WebAuthn Passkeys or Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP via Google Authenticator or 1Password) on all critical accounts to render password leaks completely harmless to your account security.
Protect Your Exposed Accounts & Passwords
Prevent credential stuffing and man-in-the-middle attacks across all your devices with encrypted VPN tunnels.
