# Matomo PasswordVerifier Plugin
[![Translation status](https://hosted.weblate.org/widgets/matomo/-/communityplugin-passwordverifier/svg-badge.svg)](https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/matomo/communityplugin-passwordverifier/)
## Description
This plugin sends the first 5 characters of the SHA1 hash of the password to the [haveibeenpwned.com database](https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords) of over 500 million passwords exposed in data breaches. If the password is found, Matomo rejects it and asks the user to use a more secure password.
This plugin only acts on passwords changes and can't access existing passwords as they are stored securely hashed by Matomo.
### Disclaimer
**Attention**: This is a beta plugin. Please don't use it in security critical environments without checking the correctness of [the source](https://github.com/Findus23/plugin-PasswordVerifier/blob/master/PasswordVerifier.php) yourself.
