An extension for KeePassXC password manager that checks stored passwords against the Have I Been Pwned database, alerting users if their credentials have been part of a data breach.
keepassxc-pwned is an open source extension for the KeePassXC password manager application. It integrates with the Have I Been Pwned online service to check if any of the passwords stored in a KeePassXC database have been compromised in known data breaches.
When enabled and configured, keepassxc-pwned will securely hash the passwords from a KeePassXC database and check them against the Pwned Passwords database from Have I Been Pwned. This allows users to conveniently audit their stored credentials against a database of over half a billion real world leaked passwords without exposing the passwords themselves.
If any compromised passwords are detected by keepassxc-pwned, the extension can optionally auto-generate new strong replacements. It can also provide visual indicators and warnings in the KeePassXC application to alert users when weak, reused, or exposed passwords are detected. This helps improve password security hygiene and encourages the use of unique passwords for each account.
As an open source project that integrates with the trusted and encrypted KeePassXC platform, keepassxc-pwned offers a secure and private way for individuals to check if their own passwords have been included in data breaches. The extension is free to use and easy to set up for those already utilizing KeePassXC as their password manager.
