This script checks a list of passwords against a password breach API (from https://haveibeenpwned.com/) to see if they have been leaked.
- Python 3
requestslibraryargparselibraryhashliblibrary
To use the script, run the following command:
python3 main.py password1 password2 password3 ...
Replace password1, password2, password3, etc. with the passwords you want to check.
The script will print out a message indicating whether each password was found in the API's database and, if it was found, how many times it was found.
Here is an example of using the script to check two passwords:
$ python3 password_breach_checker.py tikchbilatiwliwla 123456
tikchbilatiwliwla was NOT found. Carry on!
123456 was found 9999 times... you should probably change your password!
- The maximum length for a password is 128 characters. If a password is longer than 128 characters, it will not be checked and an error message will be printed.
- If a password is empty, it will not be checked and an error message will be printed.
