I'd love to see a more specific version of Troy Hunt's "have I been pwned" API which explicitly blocked user/password combinations which had been leaked.
The catch is, you'd have to store the pairs together which then makes you a target, so in practice the best you can really do is what's on offer already -- check that the password hasn't been leaked (and maybe if the email address has a high HIBP leak count).
That solution would seem to force people into password managers and random high-entropy passwords or passphrases...
