PassProtect: Addon alerts you to insecure passwords

PassProtect is a free, open source program extension Chrome, που σας προειδοποιεί όταν πρόκειται να δημιουργήσετε λογαριασμούς στο διαδίκτυο χρησιμοποιώντας ανασφαλείς ς or when trying to log into an account using a weak access.

Most online sites and services have a very loose policy when it comes to passwords that users are allowed to choose. This is one reason that many users of it , choose easy passwords. The downside to this is that these passwords can be "guessed" easily, using a process called brute force attacks (is the continuous and unstoppable of possible keys until the correct password is revealed) or using known passwords from previous breaches that have already been leaked online.

The PassProtect it's a simple one για Chrome, το οποίο κάθε φορά που πληκτρολογείτε έναν κωδικό πρόσβασης σε μια είσοδο σας ή σε μια φόρμα εγγραφής, αυτός ελέγχεται αυτόματα σε σχέση με την βάση of the serviceHave I Been Pwned", Using the password hash (in other words, the selected password is not transmitted to the service as it is, but encrypted, ie only its hash).

Have I Been is a free online service that maintains a database of known account breaches and saved passwords that have been globally used and exposed from time to time. You can use it independently of the addon, to check if your accounts related to email addresses your account, have been leaked or stolen in breaches, and if a password of yours is in the service's database (i.e. it has been leaked in the past).

PassProtect automates the above process and when it detects the password already in its “Have I Been Pwned” database, it displays a warning window on the screen. Although PassProtect does not prevent you from continuing, on the contrary, it gives you the option to use the insecure password to create the account you want or to continue using it. τε για να συνδεθείτε στο υπάρχον λογαριασμό σας, δεν είναι η καλύτερη ιδέα να συνεχίσετε αδιαφορώντας για την προ.

If a password is detected in the Have I Been Pwned database, it is likely that attackers will easily detect it since these databases have come from previous breaches and as a password already exist in the hackers' databases.

The creators of the extension they simply recommend that you change the password immediately or choose a different password when creating the account.
