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.
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.
