# checkpw - Check passwords agains pwnedpaswords.com
A simple tool to check passwords against the database at [pwnedpasswords.com] using the [k-anonymity] protocol.
The password entered is hashed, and only a small part of hash (five digits) is sent to the server. This ensures that neither the server, nor any man-in-the-middle can know the exact password you submit.
## Building the code
You need to have Rust and Cargo installed on your system. Then simply run:
% cargo build --release
To build the release build. You'll find the resulting binary in `target/release/checkpw`.
## Contributing
The main repository if the code is at https://code.volse.no/checkpw.git.
I'm happy to take patches either by email or a remote branch I can get access to. I'm also available as `@harald@hub.volse.no` on the social web (Mastodon/Hubzilla/Diaspora etc.)
