What is the Dark Web

The Dark Web is a stealthy corner of the web where anonymous cybercriminals can exchange information illegally.

Usually, leaked data or some illegal goods are traded on the dark web. Luckily, we have a solution. Passwarden’s Dark Web Monitoring can shine a light on the dark web and notify you if your information is leaked.

How does Dark Web Monitor work?

Dark Web Monitoring is a great tool to prevent the leakage of your passwords. It regularly scans places on the dark web where information is traded and sold, looking for your credentials. If any related websites are compromised and our solution finds your leaked passwords, you will receive an instant alert. 

When you sign in to the app you can create a large number of items in your Vaults. You are free to choose any type of data you want to keep: passwords, logins, personal IDs, Social Security Numbers, emails, addresses, etc. To learn more about how to store documents safely and securely check out this page.

 

All these stored items will be protected by the Dark Web Monitoring tool. For instance, if you learn that your email address or an account number has been found on the dark web, you can update the password you use to log into that account to a new, unique and strong password.
