Description

There is a recently released list of common passwords from Troy Hunt / Have I Been Pwned that could be used as a basis for the CommonPasswordValidator.

Most of the top 20k have been unhashed and made available here by Royce Williams:

My suggestion would be to use this complete list, but I'd be open to using a smaller subset if the community would prefer.
