UMIACS passwords, in accordance with best practices recommended by NIST, does not allow passwords to be used that have been included in a known data breach. UMIACS systems check that a new password you wish to set is not among hundreds of millions of compromised passwords.

We use the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) corpus of passwords as the data source of passwords that are checked against.
