Version 3 with 517M hashes and counts of password usage ordered by most to least prevalent Pwned Passwords are 517,238,891 real world passwords previously exposed in data breaches. This exposure makes them unsuitable for ongoing use as they re at much greater risk of being used to take over other accounts.

The entire set of passwords is downloadable for free below with each password being represented as a SHA-1 hash to protect the original value (some passwords contain personally identifiable information) followed by a count of how many times that password had been seen in the source data breaches. The list may be integrated into other systems and used to verify whether a password has previously appeared in a data breach after which a system may warn the user or even block the password outright.

The format of the list is a standard text file sorted in non-case-sensitive alphabetical order. Lines are separated with a newline " " character. You can test the list without downloading it by giving SHA256 hashes to the free hash cracker or to @PlzCrack on twitter. Here s a tool for computing hashes easily. Here are the results of cracking LinkedIn s and eHarmony s password hash leaks with the list. The list is responsible for cracking about 30% of all hashes given to CrackStation s free hash cracker, but that figure should be taken with a grain of salt because s
