Over the last few years Data Breaches have been in the news a lot. It is not surprising with such large platforms being targeted that many of our account details have made their way onto the dark web or end up pasted all over the internet. In an attempt to ensure our users accounts are safe, this plugin grabs the users password and without sending it to a third party checks if the password has been compromised. If the password has been compromised it will refer the user to a warning page on login, which they can then either change their password or continue to their original destination. This will occur every time the user logs in with the compromised password until they change it.

Is it possible for us to turn this function on and off for the various cohorts? Is it possible there could be an automatic alert for when a new breach is found?
