BTW, since many people don't seem to be aware of this: If you have your own domain, you can get informed by haveibeenpwned automatically if any mail address from that domain is in a breach. All that is required is that you're reachable on that domain through an address like 'postmaster'. This feature can be found under 'domain search'. Since I use a new address for pretty much anything this is very handy.

I have a large list of unique emails to test, but they are not from a domain I control. It seems that I can test these through the API, but is there any simpler way? I tried obvious things like putting a list of comma-separated email addresses in the search form, but it doesn't work.
Kinda lets adversaries figure which account used which password from which breach and until which point
Unfotunately, it no longer seems to list the impacted email addresses in those domains have been comprimised, so it's not too useful.
I've found it does list them if you request the full report, but that the initial email doesn't. (note the last time I used this functionality was about 3 weeks ago, I accept it may have changed since then)
Wow, thanks, I've never used the notification alert service since I use a custom email for every site I sign up.

That's cool, thanks!

Wow, thanks so much, that's really helpful!
That's a brilliant tip, thank you!
