This script is a password security checker that uses the k-anonymity model and Pwned Passwords API to determine if a password has been exposed in a data breach. It ensures that the actual passwords are never sent over the network, only using the first five characters of their SHA-1 hash. The script can check multiple passwords efficiently and securely.
