Are your passwords still secure?
Why is password security so important?
Passwords are the key to your online accounts – from email and social networks to banking and business applications. Studies show that weak or compromised passwords are the leading cause of data breaches and unauthorized access. A single data breach can have far-reaching consequences: financial damage, identity theft, and loss of trust in companies and service providers.
Regularly checking the security of your passwords is therefore an essential part of a modern security strategy. With our SAV7 Password Checker, you can quickly determine whether any of your passwords have already appeared in known data breaches.
Tips for Secure Password Management
Use Unique Passwords:
Use a different, complex password for each service to minimize the risk of losing all your accounts in case of a breach.
Rely on Password Managers:
Modern password managers help you generate secure, random passwords and store them safely.
Regular Security Checks:
Regularly check your passwords with tools like the SAV7 Password Checker to detect potential security vulnerabilities early.
How Does the SAV7 Password Checker Work?
The SAV7 Password Checker uses the renowned Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) API, developed by security expert Troy Hunt. By utilizing the k-Anonymity method, your password is first hashed using the SHA-1 algorithm. Only the first five characters of this hash are then sent to the API, ensuring that your full password remains protected.
Once the request is processed, you receive feedback on whether and how often your password has appeared in data breaches.
- Leak Found: If your password has been exposed in one or more breaches, you will receive a warning message and an alert icon.
- No Leak: If your password has not been compromised, a green checkmark will indicate that it is still secure.
This method ensures your privacy is maintained while providing valuable insights into the security of your credentials.
