The site doesn't actually send passwords anywhere. Having said that, the irony is not lost on me that a site called "How Secure Is My Password?" asks you to type your password into a site which you have no reason to trust. I didn't ever really intend for the site to become popular... but it did. Anyway, hopefully by having it as a plugin directly on websites it will avoid such problems.



I had no intention of accusing this specific website or code for storing your password or sending it back to a server. But using a random "how secure is your password" website is one of the least secure things you can do.
