Yeah it's sure not common yet but in a 2021 post Troy Hunt says it was already thousands:
> literally thousands of other services doing everything from providing their own password checker through to checking their customers' passwords on every registration, login or password change to see if it's previously been breached

- drdaeman 3y agoRight, but thousands is a minuscule number - there are myriads of services out there. While it would've been nice if 23andMe would've used a service like this, can't exactly blame them if they didn't - it's not like this is some well-established industry standard, but more like an extra effort by extra security-conscious companies.
- g-b-r 3y agoYes true What I'd blame 23andMe for, is having encouraged so much all that sharing of sensitive data with other accounts, without providing additional safeguards to access such data.
