Description
Pwned Passwords are hundreds of millions of real world passwords exposed in data breaches. This exposure makes them unsuitable for ongoing use as they are at much greater risk of being used to take over other accounts.
This script offers 2 methods to check whether a password has been exposed in an uncovered breach:
-
Online check implemented in such a way that the password to be checked does not need to be sent to the remote database server.
-
Local check against a copy of the pawned passwords database.
Since the local copy of the database requires nearly 20 GB of disk space (and a download of more than 10 GB of compressed data) the access via the online check should be preferred, if the compatible with operational and security requirements.

Message after installing
This port needs a password hash database that is to be downloaded with
the following command:
pwned-check -u
The database files will be installed into /var/db/pwned-check by default.
This directory can be changed in /usr/local/etc/pwned-check.conf.
The installation procedure will fetch 6 GB of compressed data and will
temporarily need 18 GB of free space in that directory and 13 GB when
the installation is complete.

If you are no longer using the pwned-check port, then manually delete
the following directory and all its contents:
/var/db/pwned-check
