Summary

PassProtect is a simple Chrome extension that dramatically improves your personal security when browsing the web.

There are a lot of passwords floating around the web because they were exposed in a data breach. Threat actors can use these exposed passwords to try to compromise your account – don't let them get in by using an exposed password!

PassProtect works by checking your password against the fabulous Have I Been Pwned? API service (https://haveibeenpwned.com/) to see whether or not the password you are using in any web login has been breached in the past. PassProtect uses 'k-anonymity', which ensures that your passwords are never seen, stored, or sent over the network during this checking process. You can learn more about k-anonymity by reading this excellent article: https://blog.cloudflare.com/validating-leaked-passwords-with-k-anonymity/

PassProtect is a new, experimental way to help individual users play a more active role in protecting their online accounts. We believe that by informing and guiding users to reset their credentials when necessary, we can all help make the web a safer place! <3 Randall + Okta

Good product, but it would be more helpful if you could customise the message that appears. Especially for deploying to organisations or businesses. You could make use of variables to customise the message and have this managed in a deployable setting somewhere.

Great concept and sorely needed! I wish it had a way to discern when I'm entering a one-time password for 2FA however... The 2FA use case triggers a false-positive alert.
