As an internet user, I want to ensure that my password is secure and has not been compromised by a data breach. The challenge, however, is to carry out this check without endangering my sensitive password data. I need a tool that anonymizes my passwords through secure encryption technology before it is matched with disclosed data. In addition, this tool should give me immediate feedback on whether my password has been revealed in any data breach. If this is the case, I need to be alerted to change my password as quickly as possible to guarantee my online security.
