Breach checks or record-level investigation
You need to inspect plaintext passwords with account and service context, then investigate stealer logs, combolists, raw files or forum posts.
Put LeakRadar to work ↗You need breach notifications, verified domain monitoring or Pwned Passwords screening.
Have I Been Pwned · Sources and review ↘Compare the data you can actually investigate.
File lines, not a count of unique accounts.
UpdatedPlaintext passwords, with their account context
Inspect the exposed password alongside the account and, for stealer logs, its service URL. When the source includes plaintext, that detail helps your team scope password resets and investigate exposed access.
Compare plans for plaintext access and included unlock points.
Stealer logs
Connect a captured login to its service URL, username and password to understand which access is exposed.
url:user:passCombolists
Find email/password and username/password pairs, including records without a service URL.
email:passuser:passRaw leak files
Search the text of leaked files, database dumps and unstructured records beyond normalized credential fields.
Dark web forums
Search indexed forum posts for mentions of your organization and examine the discussion's source context.
Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Webhook when new exposed credentials match your monitored domains or email addresses.

| What matters | LeakRadar | Have I Been Pwned |
|---|---|---|
| Research scope | Search stealer logs (url:user:pass), combolists (email:pass / user:pass), raw leak files and dark web forum posts, according to your plan. | Breach lookups, domain monitoring and a separate Pwned Passwords service. [1] |
| Investigation context | Inspect the exposed password alongside the account and, for stealer logs, its service URL. When the source includes plaintext, that detail helps your team scope password resets and investigate exposed access. | Stealer-log lookups provide email and website relationships, without account-linked passwords. Pwned Passwords checks password hashes separately. [3] |
| Follow-up | Get notified via Email, Slack, Discord, Telegram or Webhook when new exposed credentials match your monitored domains or email addresses. Examine plaintext passwords and service URLs. Export CSV, TXT or JSON, or connect your security tools through the REST API. | Subscription tiers support domain monitoring; stealer-log API access requires an eligible tier. [2] |
Features can depend on the subscription and dataset. A missing mention in public documentation is not evidence that a feature is unavailable.

Questions before switching
Can I see the password exposed for an account?
LeakRadar can reveal the plaintext password when the source contains it, subject to your plan, unlocking and display preferences. HIBP does not provide account-linked passwords; its separate Pwned Passwords service supports password screening.
Does LeakRadar replace Pwned Passwords?
These are different workflows. LeakRadar supports credential investigation; password screening can remain part of your authentication controls.
