The increasing number of data breaches has become a concern for anyone trying to live a life of relative privacy.

This does not impact the ability for you to [subscribe to breach notifications](https://haveibeenpwned.com/NotifyMe), but it does require you to validate that you have access to the email, before receiving breach notifications.
