Breachwatch Command

Requires the Breachwatch addon
Command: breachwatch or bw
Detail: Run a Breachwatch dark web scan of your records or password
Actions:
list Displays a list of breached passwords
  • --all, -a display all breached passwords (including ignored) -- note: if this flag is omitted, only the first 30 records are shown if the total count exceeds 32
  • --owned, -o display only breached records owned by user

password <password> Check a password against our database of breached accounts. Accepts multiple passwords separated by a space
scan Perform a Breachwatch scan
reset Recalculate security audit score data for all passwords in the vault. Applies only to the current user's vault.
Reset Command Details
  • The reset command loops through every record in the vault. Please allow it to complete without interrupting it. If interrupted, the security scores in your vault may undercount your records. If this happens, you can run the breachwatch reset command again to correct the counts.
  • The breachwatch reset command should not be run while you are logged in to the Security Audit page in the admin console. Doing so can result in incorrect data being generated for the user whose vault scores are being reset.
  • After security scores are re-calculated, the Security Audit page in the admin console will not yet reflect the changes. To show the updated scores in the Admin Console, use the enterprise command security-audit-report -s.
