Description
Feature request
User type: Logged-in
User level: Beginners
Description
I suggest that Passman integrates with HaveIBeenPwned.com to check for leaked passwords stored in vault. It would trigger the "Compromised" mark automatically. Bitwarden (open source) and other password managers already have this feature.
Benefit / value
User would be notified of breached records stored in vault and would change them immediately, keeping accounts safe and secure.
Risk / caveats
The risk would be minimal, as Passman already assess password strength. The only concern on how it may probe HaveIBeenPwned.com for leaked passwords. The password hashes need to be securely sent (and not in plain text).
