# Pwned - Check Your Passwords
Pwned is a simple command-line python script to check if you have a password that has been compromised in a data breach. This script uses [haveibeenpwned](https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v3) API to check whether your passwords were leaked during one of the many breaches of online services.
This API uses [k-Anonymity model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-anonymity) that allows a password to be searched for by partial hash in order to anonymously verify if a password was leaked without disclosing the searched password.
