Password Doesn't Meet Security Requirements

In our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of account security for PBO Tools users, we implement stringent checks to ensure that all passwords used in our system are robust and have not been compromised in previous data breaches.

Understanding the Error

If you encounter the error message:

"Your password does not meet PBO Tools security requirements, as it has been found in a data breach. Please check https://haveibeenpwned.com/ for more information"

This indicates that the password you attempted to use has been identified as compromised, often because it has previously appeared in a known data breach. PBO Tools checks passwords against Have I Been Pwned, which contains records of passwords that have been exposed in public breaches.

Why This Matters

Using a password that has already been exposed in a data breach significantly increases the risk of account takeover and unauthorized access. By enforcing strict password policies and rejecting compromised passwords, PBO Tools helps protect your personal and project data from potential security threats.

This proactive security measure is part of our commitment to providing a safe and reliable toolset for our users, ensuring that your experience with PBO Tools remains secure and efficient.
