You should add a note on the page that lets people know that checking a password takes a minute or two.

EDIT: Actually never mind, seems like it's much faster now.

Yeah. We got hit pretty hard. It doesn't actually take a minute or two, unless you're doing a few hundred at the same time. Fixing. (-:

Can you confirm you're not logging/recording the hashed passwords?

We can tell you we're not, but that doesn't actually confirm anything. (We're really not, though.)

To be safe, you should consider the SHA-1 hash of your LinkedIn password to be public, even if it's not one of these 6.5 million.
