Orion is a simple program to check for compromised passwords using Have I
Been Pwned API.
Currently it only supports [[https://www.passwordstore.org][pass]], other password managers maybe be supported in
the future.
*Note*: Your password is not sent anywhere, only the first 5 characters of the
SHA-1 hash of the input is sent to HIBP API.

* Working
- Password is hashed & split (prefix: [:5], suffix: [5:])
- Prefix is sent to the HIBP API
- HIBP API returns list of suffixes along with frequency
- Orion looks for suffix from the list of suffixes
Match means the password is present in HIBP database & has been compromised.
*Note*: Password not present in database doesn't mean that it is a strong
password.
