# ⚠️ USER ACTION REQUIRED - Security Setting
|
|
|
|
## Critical Security Improvement Available
|
|
|
|
### What Needs to Be Done
|
|
**Enable Leaked Password Protection** in your Supabase Dashboard
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Why This Matters
|
|
- 🔒 **Prevents compromised passwords** - Blocks passwords from data breaches
|
|
- 🛡️ **Protects user accounts** - Checks against ~10 billion breached passwords
|
|
- ⚡ **Zero performance impact** - Handled by Supabase infrastructure
|
|
- 🆓 **No cost** - Built-in feature, just needs to be enabled
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## How to Enable (5 Minutes)
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Open Supabase Dashboard
|
|
Navigate to: https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/ydvtmnrszybqnbcqbdcy
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Go to Authentication Settings
|
|
Click: **Authentication** → **Settings**
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Find Password Security Section
|
|
Scroll to: **"Password Security"**
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Enable the Setting
|
|
Toggle: **"Enable leaked password protection"** ✅
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Save
|
|
Click: **Save** button at bottom
|

|
## What Happens After Enabling
|
|
|
|
### For New Users
|
|
- ✅ Cannot use compromised passwords during signup
|
|
- ✅ Get friendly error: "This password has been found in a data breach"
|
|
- ✅ Forced to choose a secure password
|
|
|
|
### For Existing Users
|
|
- ✅ Existing passwords remain valid (no forced reset)
|
|
- ✅ Next password change will be validated
|
|
- ✅ Gradual migration to secure passwords
|
|
|
|
### How It Works
|
|
- Checks password against Have I Been Pwned database
|
|
- Uses k-anonymity (only first 5 hash characters sent)
|
|
- Zero privacy concerns - full password never transmitted
|
|
- Instant validation, no user friction
|
|
