Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to check my password here?
Yes. The tool hashes your password locally inside your browser and only sends a partial hash prefix to the breach database using the k-anonymity model. Your complete plaintext password never leaves your device.
What should I do if my password was found in a breach?
If your password appears in a breach, change it immediately on every website where you have used it. You should also enable multi-factor authentication on those accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
Does this tool store or log the passwords I enter?
No. The tool runs locally in your web browser and neither logs, stores, nor transmits your full password to Doffl or any third-party server.
Is the password breach checker free to use?
Yes, this tool is completely free to use. There are no fees, usage limits, or account registration requirements for standard checks.
How do passwords end up in data breaches?
Passwords usually enter breach databases when an online service experiences a cyberattack or misconfiguration that exposes its user database. Attackers then publish or trade these credential lists across the web.
