Step 2: Set Up the “Have I Been Pwned” (HIBP) Transform

After downloading the transform, you can set it up:

  2. In the “Manage” tab, click on “Transforms Manager.”
  3. Find the HIBP transform you downloaded and click on “Settings” or “Configure.”

Step 3: Access “Have I Been Pwned” Resources

Here are the URLs to access “Have I Been Pwned” resources:
