A command line utility that lets you check if a passphrase has been pwned using the Pwned Passwords v3 API.

All provided password data is k-anonymized before sending to the API, so plaintext passwords never leave your computer.

** See: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

see this article for more details.

Installation

First get Nimble. Then run:

nimble install pwnedpass

API

pwnedCheck(passphrase)

Example:

import pwnedpass
let passphrase:string = stdin.readLine()
let occurance = pwnedCheck(passphrase)
echo "pwned: ", $occurance, " Times!"

Usage as binary

$ pwnedpass
> Please enter a passphrase to check if has been pwned: => •••••••••••
> Oh no -- Pwned! Your passphrase was found to be used: => 2 times!
> [**WARN**] => This password has previously appeared in a data breach and should never be used. If you've ever used it anywhere before, change it!
