Introducing compromised password detection for GitLab.com

Data breaches are increasingly prevalent, with over 2,800 incidents reported in 2024 alone, leading to the exposure of credentials such as usernames, emails, and passwords. Stolen credentials are a significant threat, as they are implicated in 24% of breaches, according to Verizon's 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report. To combat this, GitLab is implementing a compromised password detection feature starting June 19, 2025, which will alert users if their login credentials match known compromised data. The detection applies only to native GitLab username and password logins, not to SSO credentials. Users are advised to use strong, unique passwords, enabled by password managers, and to set up two-factor authentication. GitLab recommends alternative security practices, such as updating email addresses and registering with breach notification services like haveibeenpwned.com, to further enhance account security. For more information on GitLab's security measures, users can visit the GitLab security page, which details their trust and compliance practices.
