How to validate password - PasswordNotAcceptable

Anvil Q&A

Made a clone link example, it seems to work:

https://anvil.works/build#clone:WWHZUEM7BXMPC5NL=2ZJHXPWQDOGXLRSCE4CYB5IQ

import anvil.http
from hashlib import sha1

def is_pswd_pwnd(pswd="password"):
  pswd = sha1(pswd.encode()).hexdigest().upper()

  try:
    response = anvil.http.request(url=f"https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/{pswd[:5]}",
                    method="GET",
                    headers= {
                      "user-agent": "Anvil",
                    })
  except anvil.http.HttpError as err:
    print(f"Error {err.status}")
    #print(str(err.content))
    
  response = response.get_bytes().decode('utf-8')

  return pswd[5:] in response
