Pwned Passwords Validator

The number of times a password has been hacked is irrelevant as far as I can tell. If my account has been hacked, then you want me to be prevented from using that same password again, especially with the same email.

Most people

  1. Reuse passwords
  2. Don’t know whether their “standard” login has ever been hacked somewhere

Therefore it makes sense to disallow passwords that have “only” been compromised once, doesn’t it? And the more unique (long) the password, the more this would hold true, in my thinking.
