When you enter a password on a website, this extension will check it against Troy Hunt's pwnedpasswords API (v2) and let you know if it has been exposed in previous breaches. If it has, you probably want to use a different password.
If you're worried about your password getting sent across the internet, that's fantastic! Such a travesty should never be allowed! So instead of doing that, Password Checker actually hashes your password and sends the first 5 characters of that hash to the pwnedpasswords API. It then gets back a list of possible matches and compares your password to that list. Since no part of your password is ever sent over the internet, and the full hash isn't sent either, neither the API nor anyone intercepting traffic in between will know what you have actually typed into the box. Check out haveibeenpwned for more information.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
