    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.

            MVP is really an employee, they are not aloud to be honest when giving advice that is not in Microsofts best interest. It’s a farce.

          Ahh. Interesting. I don’t think I’ve seen the HIBP one!

          Now it’s going to bug me, trying to remember the one I was thinking of. (Unfortunately, I’m out and about today and can’t really take a moment to hunt down what I’d previously seen.)
