I do agree with Troy that this could be useful to send to relatives and family:
> I'm envisaging more tech-savvy people using this service to demonstrate a point to friends, relatives and co-workers: "you see, this password has been breached before, don't use it!"
But I can't be the only one whose family would be baffled by the term "pwned". I wish it said something like "Your password has been hacked!" which we all know not to be technically correct but would resonate a lot more.
