You're supposed to enter your email address... lol. There's a reason the text box says "Enter email here" and the bottom of the page discussed the "email entered will not be...". Also, it just doesn't make any sense to search by password.

Yes, I would be disturbed if a public site was reversing weak poor choices in hash algorithm and publishing data about the resulting passwords.

However, a "should I change my password site" that takes passwords as an input would be pretty simple, just save the entered password and then say "YES".

Well that's embarrassing. Yes, you're quite right, I read everything except that box and I the bottom text (which was just outside of my scroll view).

The only defense I can offer is that the name, introduction and the feedback text (which should at least check for "@") is kind off or misleading.

Anyway, my fault, I apologize to the web site creator.
