How do you get emails if you're part of a breach?

[Neuron5569]

Hello Calvin, and welcome to the community!

Here’s the info from @grb in this post:

https://community.bitwarden.com/t/password-breach-reports

Bitwarden does not offer automation of the reports, but if you want automatic notification of breaches that you’ve appeared in, you can sign up for that service directly at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ .

Here is a feature request that you can vote for:

Vault Health Dashboard - Data Breach Report should do automatic lookups and alerts

Bitwarden Outpost I was actually expecting to get this with premium: Items should be checked automatically and have a little indicator for weak, duplicated, compromised passwords. Data breaches should be announced via OS notification and a big red banner in every BW app. I think the current browser-only manual reports are „nice to have“, but nothing more. The consistency of automated checks is far more beneficial than sporadic manual reports on the website. Especially for the ones that we are …

If you use only few emails across all your accounts, registering them directly at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ will last however long HIBP (which Bitwarden uses) lasts.

If you use email aliases all over the place, using long, unique, randomly generated passwords + 2FA will probably mitigate most risks from breached sites, without having to worry about the reports or automated notifications.
