This is wonderful.

Not sure if the submitter is the one who made this, but thank you for making it and/or submitting it.

These sort of code-as-art projects always make my day brighter :)

the user repo says the creator is sircmpwn, also known as drew devault, he has a hacker news account at ddevault
No, I didn’t make this, just submitted. Also, I think it’s wobderful as well :)

Cheers! :)

In case it's not clear: this tries to use the submitted password to log in to Google, FB, Twitter, GitHub, Reddit, and HN, and reject if it's re-used.
The password manager he recommends, pass, is fantastic. It's exactly what a password manager should be.
