# checkPassword
`checkPassword` is a command line tool developed in Python that allows you to check if a password has been compromised against known databases of leaked passwords. Use Have I Been Pwned's Pwned Passwords API to perform this verification safely and efficiently.
## Features
### Verification of Compromised Passwords:
Enter a password to check if it has appeared in known leaks.
It uses a secure hashing technique to protect password privacy during verification.
## Command Line Interface (CLI):
Friendly interaction with the user through the terminal.
Displays warning messages if the password is compromised and recommendations to change it.
## Security and Privacy:
Verification is performed without sending the full password over the network.
Only a portion of the SHA-1 hash of the password is sent to match the compromised password database.
## Use:
### Previous requirements
Make sure you have `Python3` installed on your system. Additionally, the necessary dependencies (`colorama` and `requests`) are installed automatically by running the `requirements.sh` script.
## Install:
Run the following command to install the dependencies and configure the script to run globally:
```bash
sudo ./requirements.sh
```
## Execution:
To verify a password, simply run the `checkPassword` script followed by the command:
```bash
python3 checkPassword.py
```
## Example of Use:
```bash
python3 checkPassword.py
```
### Info:
```bash

Enter the password to verify (or 'q' to exit): secret123
The password 'secret123' has not been compromised in known databases.
The password is secure!
