How to Use Digital Safety Score

What is Digital Safety Score?

Digital Safety Score is a comprehensive online security assessment tool that gives you a single 0-100 score measuring how safe you are on the internet. Unlike basic breach checkers that only tell you if your email was in a data breach, Digital Safety Score performs a multi-factor analysis covering four critical areas: password exposure (checked against billions of known leaked passwords using k-anonymity), email domain breach history (matched against our curated database of 100+ major data breaches including Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more), email address pattern analysis (detecting predictable patterns like birth years or sequential numbers), and password strength evaluation (entropy, length, character diversity). Your password is hashed locally in your browser using SHA-1 — only the first 5 characters of the hash are ever sent to the breach database, and your actual password is never transmitted anywhere. After analysis, you receive a letter grade (A+ through F), a detailed score breakdown for each category, a visual breach timeline, and personalized security recommendations. You can download a shareable score card or share your results directly on social media.

How do I use Digital Safety Score?

Step 1: Enter your email address in the first field. This is used to check if your email domain (like gmail.com or yahoo.com) has been involved in any known data breaches. Step 2: Enter a password you want to check in the second field. You can toggle password visibility with the eye icon. This password is hashed locally in your browser — it never leaves your device. Step 3: Click the 'Check My Score' button. The tool will simultaneously check your password against the HIBP (Have I Been Pwned) password database using k-anonymity, match your email domain against our breach directory, analyze your email for predictable patterns, and evaluate your password strength. Step 4: Review your results. You'll see your overall score (0-100), letter grade, and a detailed breakdown of each scoring category. Scroll down to see the breach timeline, matched breaches with exposed data types, and personalized recommendations. Step 5: Share your results. Download a score card image for social media or share directly on X (Twitter) to challenge your friends to check their own scores.
