    This sounds a lot like that website where you can enter your password to check if it has been compromised.

      If you’re talking about have I been pwned, that site is actually legit. They have an API that compares hashes and stuff. I hope this app is legit too, it could save millions of people.

        There’s one by …. Microsoft, I think?

        It actually requests your password (vs email for HaveIBeenPwned) and checks it against rainbow tables. It doesn’t ask for other identifying information, so it’s okay, but feels super sketchy.
