Compromised passwords

Currently there is one type: password compromised.

Every time a user signs in – on the web or via the mail server – Userli checks the password against the Have I Been Pwned database, at most once every 7 days per user. Only the first characters of a hash of the password are sent, never the password itself (k-anonymity).

If the password was found:

  • a notification is stored and listed here,
  • the user sees a red Security Alert banner in the web interface until they change their password,
  • the user detail page shows a warning.

No email is sent to the user.

Notifications are removed when the user changes the password, when the account is deleted, and automatically after 30 days (see Maintenance).
