Opt-in email breach alerts
Email breach alerts check your account email and masked email aliases against Have I Been Pwned, through your Octa Pass server.
There’s no way to do this without sending the address, so it works differently from the password check:
- It’s off until you turn it on, and the app says what’s sent, and to whom, before you do.
- Your server handles each address in memory and keeps nothing. Results are stored in your encrypted vault, and turning alerts off deletes them.
- This does tell your server which aliases are yours. If that matters to you, leave it off.
Self-hosters: the feature exists only if you set OCTAPASS_HIBP_API_KEY, and it’s off by default. See configuration.
