Pwned – Simple CLI Script To Check If You Have A Password That Has Been Compromised In A Data Breach

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 API to check whether your passwords were leaked during one of the many breaches of online services.
