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.
