Testing real passwords on a remote API ? What about security and privacy ?

You don't send the password to the API, only the first 5 characters of the SHA1 password's hash are sent to the endpoint API. It's the implementation of a mathematical property called k-anonymity.

Not enough for you ? You can build your own API by using this Golang project :

• to build an optimized binary file from the official database files
• to run an httpd handler who reproduce the HIBP Pwned Password API.

This PHP Pwned Passwords lib permit you to change the API endpoint.

// Just test of pwned or not

// To knows how many times it have been pwned
