Has my password been leaked?

Check whether a password shows up in known data breaches. It's checked privately: your password never leaves this page.

Only the first 5 characters of its SHA-1 hash are sent to Have I Been Pwned.

How the check stays private

Your password is never sent anywhere. Your browser turns it into a SHA-1 hash, a fixed string of characters that can't be turned back into the password, and sends only the first 5 characters of that hash to the free Pwned Passwords service from Have I Been Pwned. The service returns every leaked hash that starts with those 5 characters, hundreds of them, and your browser checks the list on its own. Nobody, including us, learns your password or even its full hash. This method is called k-anonymity.

If your password was found

  1. Change it on every site where you use it. Start with your email account, because it can reset everything else.
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication wherever it's offered.
  3. Use a password manager so every account gets its own password.
  4. Check whether your email address was in a breach too, and see what to do after a data breach.

A leaked password usually means one of the sites you used was breached, not that your device was hacked.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to type my password here?

Yes. The password never leaves your browser. Only the first 5 characters of its SHA-1 hash are sent, which can match hundreds of different passwords.

Where does the breach data come from?

From Have I Been Pwned's free Pwned Passwords service, which holds hundreds of millions of passwords exposed in real data breaches.

My password was not found. Is it safe?

It hasn't appeared in a known breach, which is good, but that doesn't make it strong. Short or reused passwords are still easy to guess.

Can undoleak delete my password from breach data?

No one can delete a breach once it's out. What helps is changing the password and turning on two-factor authentication. undoleak flags breached passwords so you know which to change.
