If the bloom filter says the password has been breached before you check it against haveibeenpwnd database ;)
So kind of a caching layer caching every password that has definitely not been breached.
- chii 8y ago> So kind of a caching layer ... i'd name this sort of thing a filter, rather than a cache.
- JackCh 8y agoCalling a bloom filter a filter is a tautology and tautologies don't have much pedagogical value. Explaining what a bloom filter is (and/or is useful for) by imperfect analogy to caching is less precisely correct than a tautology but will help the uninformed a lot more.
