This gem uses https://api.pwnedpasswords.com.
It sends the first 5 characters of the sha1 of the password provided to https://api.pwnedpasswords.com. The response is then a list of colliding SHA1'ed passwords. We then compare the returned SHA1'ed passwords, with the provided password. This way the password nor its entire SHA1 is ever broadcast.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'hibp_password_checker'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install hibp_password_checker
Simple to use: HIBPPasswordChecker.pwned?("3WJwP#cnFoUQ.9oPpc2Taivvgea+Qz2*egY")
