function Test-HibpPwnedPassword {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Checks if a password has been exposed in a data breach.

        .DESCRIPTION
            Checks if a password has been exposed in a data breach by querying the Pwned Passwords API using the k-Anonymity model.
            The function hashes the password with SHA-1, sends the first 5 characters of the hash to the API, and then checks the returned list of hash suffixes for a match.
            This function does NOT send your plain text password over the internet.

        .PARAMETER Password
            The password to check, as a SecureString because Microsoft doesn't like it when you publish to the Gallery with clear text.

        .EXAMPLE
            Test-HibpPwnedPassword -Password (Read-Host -AsSecureString)

            Prompts for a password securely and checks if it has been pwned.

        .EXAMPLE
            'password' | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force | Test-HibpPwnedPassword

            Checks the password 'password' to see if it has been pwned.
