My old password was in the password file, and it was flagged as cracked.
If you're a Windows user and you want to check if your password is in the file.
(1) download the passwords file from http://www.mediafire.com/?n307hutksjstow3
(2) the download is a RAR file, so you'll need to have WinRAR installed to extract it.
(3) to get the sha1 version of your password, go to duckduckgo.com and type:
sha1 yourpassword
(4) copy the result, except for the first 6 or so characters
(5) open a DOS command prompt (WindowsKey+R and type CMD)
(6) type (quotes required where indicated): find "sha1hash" sha1.txt
(note: to paste to the command prompt is right-click)
Example:
The sha1 hash of the password 'password' is: 5baa61e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
Remove first six characters: e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
enter at command prompt: find "e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8" sha1.txt
result:
---------- SHA1.TXT
000001e4c9b93f3f0682250b6cf8331b7ee68fd8
