Why do you think this would need a service?

It’s really easy to make as a dev using Have I Been Pwned Password API: https://twitter.com/noncototient/status/966628069048950784

Unless you’re talking about users whose dev skills only go as far as posting Wordpress articles. Then it might work, but integration would have to be super simple, I frame might not be the easiest solution for them.

Unsophisticated users are exactly who I would be targeting. I would likely have to make widgets to integrate with common site building services like WP. An iframe is likely the simplest solution if they're building a site from scratch though.

If you’re thinking of going with the iFrame path, you’ll have to make the whole iFrame a form. You’ll be competing directly with Gravity Forms. And they are huge, while your only competitive advantage is a feature they can implement in less than 5 minutes.

I’d love to see you make it work and make you money, but I’m not convinced yet.
