I don't have the resources of a Facebook, but I'd pay a few hundred bucks a year for a HTTPS secured REST API which let me post an email address and receive a list of candidate passwords. Bonus for a callback if someone I've queried gets added. The service would maintain that list in a fashion similar to whitehat security researchers.
Use case is to implement the FB-style security escalation for high-value accounts at my businesses, without requiring an on-call security team. If a dentist loses their client database because they reused the password on a PHPBB somewhere I'm likely in for a lot of headaches even if eventually found to not be at fault.

- recuter 13y agoThe app part is trivial, the hard part would be maintaining good up to date datasets to make this actuallly useful. You'd also need quite a few more costumers than one patio11 to make it worth your while, and ironically, the need for this service in the first place suggests the potential market is still small. I.e. lots of organizations don't quite realize they have a need for this and would have a hard time understanding why its useful.
