Abstract
A service monitors password and username use while maintaining username and password privacy by receiving a hash of a username, a hash of a password, and a host name and comparing the received hashes against a database of associated host names and hashes of usernames and passwords. When the comparison determines that the hash of the new password meets certain conditions, e.g., no hash in the database matches the hash of the new password, then the new password may be allowed and the service informs the security component accordingly.
