About PassChecker

MODX package for checking compromised passwords against HIBP Passwords.

After a user signs in their password will be checked against known breaches by sending the first five characters of a sha1 hash to the Passwords API. The user will be notified if the password is found. This creates awareness and provides a easy way of changing the password from within the pop-up.
