Has My Password Been Leaked?
Check whether a password has appeared in known data breaches using Have I Been Pwned's privacy-safe lookup. Your password never leaves your device.
Tip from Tink: If it's been leaked, change it everywhere you used it.
How this stays private: your password is turned into a SHA-1 fingerprint on your device. Only the first 5 characters of that fingerprint are sent to Have I Been Pwned, which replies with every match starting that way. The final check happens on your device, so your password never leaves it.
