Hi. I get frequent alerts that some of my passwords are re-used. I can understand this because all the passwords are in the same database and the tool can easily see duplicates.

However, I also got an alert that one email address and password were found on the dark web. I changed it; that's not the only issue. If my passwords are saved with zero-knowledge encryption and Avira team cannot see them, how does the tool check for them on the dark web?

Thanks.

  Hello Satya,

  Unfortunately, we cannot answer your question about password search technology.

  How software manufacturers proceed with warnings to detect the misuse of passwords would be a question for the software manufacturers' technicians.

  With the search engine of your choice, you will certainly find explanations on how to search for password abuse on the Internet. Perhaps there are readers here in the public forum who can help you clarify your question.
