checkpwn
A command-line tool to check email addresses and passwords against the Have I Been Pwned breach database.
What is checkpwn?
Checkpwn is a command-line tool that checks email addresses and passwords against the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) database to determine if they have been exposed in known data breaches. It helps users identify compromised credentials and prompts them to change passwords when necessary. The tool supports batch processing and secure API key management for automated security checks.
Security-conscious individuals, system administrators, and developers who want to automate breach detection for email accounts and passwords as part of their security practices.
