Available Reports
Exposed Passwords Report
The Exposed Passwords Report identifies passwords that have been uncovered in known data breaches that were released publicly or sold on the dark web by hackers.
This report uses a trusted web service to search the first 5 digits of the hash of all your passwords in a database of known leaked passwords. The returned matching list of hashes is then locally compared with the full hash of your passwords. That comparison is only done locally to preserve your k-anonymity.
Once identified, you should create a new password for offending accounts or services.
Tip
Why use the first 5 digits of password hashes?
If the report was performed with your actual passwords, it doesn’t matter if they were exposed or not, you would be voluntarily leaking it to the service. This report’s result may not mean your individual account has been compromised, rather that you are using a password that has been found in these databases of exposed passwords, however you should avoid using leaked and non-unique passwords.
Reused Passwords Report
The Reused Passwords Report identifies non-unique passwords in your Vault. Reusing the same password for multiple services can allow hackers to easily gain access to more of your online accounts when one service is breached.
Once identified, you should create a unique password for offending accounts or services.
Weak Passwords Report
The Weak Passwords Report identifies weak passwords that can easily be guessed by hackers and automated tools that are used to crack passwords, sorted by severity of the weakness. The PassageWay Password Generator can help you create stronger passwords.
Once identified, you should use PassageWay’s Password Generator to create a strong password for offending accounts or services.
Unsecured Websites Report
The Unsecured Websites Report identifies Login items that use unsecured (http://) schemes in URIs. It’s much safer to use https:// to encrypt communications with TLS/SSL. To learn more, see Using URIs.
Once identified, you should change offending URIs from http:// to https://.
Inactive 2FA Report
The Inactive 2FA Report identifies Login items where:
- Two-factor Authentication (2FA) via TOTP is available from the service
- You have not stored a TOTP Authenticator Key
Two-factor Authentication (2FA) is an important security step that helps secure your accounts. If any website offers it, you should always enable 2FA. Offending items are identified by cross-referencing URI-data with data from https://2fa.directory/.
Once identified, setup 2FA using the Instructions hyperlink for each offending item:
