Compromised Password Protection

Compromised passwords are quite often used as a starting point for cracking multiple accounts. Unfortunately, people are still using the same login credentials across multiple websites. Once their password is exposed, attackers could compromise various accounts in just one or two attempts.

The WordPress security plugin now includes a brand new setting to refuse compromised passwords. This new feature is powered by Have I Been Pwned which allows you to detect whether passwords have appeared in a data breach. If this happens, you can easily force your WordPress site users to use passwords that do not appear in any known password breaches.

Please note: Plaintext passwords will never be sent to Have I Been Pwned. Instead, five characters of hashed passwords are sent via an encrypted connection to their API.
