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).

Sponsorship

Are you a developer willing to implement this feature?: no

Can you sponsor the development of this feature or do you know someone who can?: no

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing password-strength assessment and reviewing how HaveIBeenPwned.com can receive password hashes securely. Done means leaked vault passwords are detected and marked "Compromised" without sending plaintext passwords.
