Syntax
public static class PwnedSearchMethods
IsPwnedPassword(String)
Makes a call to Pwned Passwords API, asking for a set of hashes of publicly known passwords that match a partial hash of a given password. If any of the hashes returned by the API call fully matches the hash of the plaintext, it would mean that the password has been exposed in publicly known data breaches and thus is not safe to use. See https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2#PwnedPasswords
