  title: Pwned Passwords API
  description: |
    Pwned Passwords is a free k-anonymity-based lookup service that exposes whether a password
    appears in any of the public credential corpora ingested by Have I Been Pwned. Clients
    submit the first five characters of the SHA-1 (or NTLM) hash of a password and receive
    a list of matching hash suffixes with their breach counts. No authentication is required.
