Have you ever wondered if your personal data has been exposed in a data breach? We’re excited to announce the integration of the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) feature into the Tapmydata mobile app, making it easier than ever to find out if your personal information has been compromised.
Created by Troy Hunt, a Microsoft Regional Director, Developer Security MVP, and international web security expert, HIBP is a free resource that allows users to quickly check if their personal data has been exposed due to an online account breach. This tool has become an essential service for individuals looking to protect their online privacy.
How It Works in Tapmydata
We’ve ensured that using this feature in the Tapmydata app is seamless and user-friendly. Here’s how to access it:
- Open your secure data locker in the Tapmydata app.
- Scroll down to the Data Breaches section.
- Tap on the section to check if your email has been affected.
The feature scans multiple data breaches to determine if your personal data has been compromised. If your information is found in a breach, you’ll see detailed information, including:
- A description of the breach.
- The date it occurred.
- The type of data that was exposed (e.g., email, password, personal details).
Why This Matters
In today’s digital world, data breaches are becoming increasingly common. By integrating the HIBP feature, we’re empowering our users to stay informed and take steps to protect their data. Whether it’s changing passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, or monitoring accounts for unusual activity, being aware of breaches is the first step in safeguarding your privacy.
