Passwords are regularly leaked onto the dark web, putting your online accounts at risk.

But there are several tools that can help warn you if your own details have been compromised by hackers.

The first is a very popular website called HaveIBeenPwned.com.

This website compiles leaked emails and passwords from major data breaches — like the LinkedIn and MySpace hacks.

All you need to do is enter your email on the website and it’ll tell you if there’s a match with its databases.

If there is, it means your email address has been caught up in a leak. Try it here.

Make sure to change your password if it turns out you’ve been exposed in a big leak.

And it’s also worth signing up to alerts with the website.

That way, you’ll be emailed as soon as HaveIBeenPwned? finds out you’ve been caught up in a data breach.

The next tool worth checking out is called PassProtect.

It’s a free Google Chrome extension developed by cybersecurity firm Okta.

First, you’ll need to download and install the extension for your Google Chrome web browser.

Note that it won’t work on other web browsers, like Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

Whenever you log into a website by typing in your password, you’ll be notified if your password is no longer safe.

The tool works by referencing the HaveIBeenPwned? database of passwords.

The password you type into your browser will be converted into a safe “hashed” string of characters.

These characters are then matched with the database to see if you’re using an exposed password.

It’s important to point out that this tool isn’t letting you know if your own account has been hacked. Instead, it’s letting you know if a password you’re using has been exposed in a data breach.

Hackers often use these huge databases of passwords to “brute force” their way into accounts — because if one person has used a password, another person may have used it too.

So having a unique password that no one else uses is a great way to keep your account safe.

Yesterday, we revealed some of the most common passwords and password trends.

Popular passwords included “12345678,” “password” and “iloveyou.”

But many at-risk users also opted for brand names, pop culture references and football teams — all of which are easy to guess.
