How it stays private

Hashed on your device

Your browser computes the SHA-1 hash of the password. Nothing is sent yet.

Only 5 characters leave

We ask for every hash starting with those first 5 characters: hundreds of candidates, padded with decoys.

Matched locally

The comparison happens in your browser. Neither we nor the service ever see the password or its full hash.
