Silverstripe pwnage hinting

This module allows checking of passwords against the HIBP corpus.

For more information on how the Pwned Password API works, including how password hashes are sent to the API, please read: https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v3#PwnedPasswords

Background

This module uses MFlor/pwned to interface with the Password and Breach API.

From a Silverstripe perspective, the module:

  • checks for pwned passwords and optionally prohibits (by default) their use via a PasswordValidator extension
  • flags relevant records
  • optionally sends digest emails containing volume of pwned passwords

In addition to password checking it can be used to check for breaches, or a count of breaches, linked to a supplied email address. Breach checking requires an API key to be purchased from haveibeenpwned

Configuration

The module comes with a default configuration that should get you up and running.
