Password Hacked Checker
Check if your password has been pwned. This small project for learning Python calls the Pwned Passwords API using the k-Anonymity model to check if your password(s) has been hacked in a secure way.
Technologies Used
Python script using the Requests library to interact with the Pwned Passwords API, that reads passwords from a text file and processes them individually.
- Multiple password
- k-Anonymity model
- Data breach count
- Easy-to-use CLI
Challenges
I was to think about a simple project to showcase my knowledge of Python. I decided to build a password checker, but something secure to use, because I didn't want to share any real password via Internet. So, I implemented the k-Anonymity model to check if a password has been hacked without revealing the full password.
