"Have I been pwned" is just a more friendly than "Was my password easy?". But the truth should be known!

Not only, since bad passwords aren't the only way passwords can leak, bad password storage practices on a hacked site do it too.

HIBP also includes leaks that didn't include recoverable passwords, but other personal data.

Well, truth. If the password were ejected from let's say "the random" website and you use the same one for all other ones you are kinda "pwned".
