Show HN: New daily password puzzle game with real passwords from data breaches
Image: Hacker News (Newest)

Hi,
I created this online puzzle game where one daily real password from data breaches has to be guessed in Wordle-style.
Once you solve it, you see how many accounts actually used that password (Source: Have I Been Pwned).
It's free, needs no sign-up, and takes a minute.I work in digital forensics and I come across passwords every day, and the patterns are always the same ones.
Daily Crack started above all as a small awareness campaign on this topic.
You might find your own password and discover it's used by hundreds of thousands of other people. Or realise that six attempts are enough to guess a complete stranger's password, because it follows the same pattern as yours.Feedback is appreciated.
