Troy Hunt: Introducing 306 Million Freely Downloadable Pwned Passwords

Troy Hunt, known for his service haveibeenpowned now released another cool thing: To match the latest NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, you should not allow users to use a password that previously appeared in a data breach. To do that, Troy released the data of his service in an anonymous way and you can now check online or get the data dump to implement the NIST guidelines. Note that there’s no requirement to implement this for non-federal agencies.
