HIBP can check passwords. Some password managers integrate with it, like Bitwarden. Troy Hunt, the person behind HIBP ~~works at Microsoft~~ is a Microsoft MVP.

Isn't Troy Hunt just a Microsoft MVP? I don't think he actually works for them

He is also a "Microsoft Regional Director". I thought that was a position at Microsoft, but after actually looking at it, it looks like you're correct.

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.)
