@JimWestergren -- I agree, the function snippet you wrote is simple and does the job well. I am using it and it works great. Thank you.

What if the given password's hash matches the first returned from the api? Wouldn't strpos() would return 0 ?

I'd change line 11 to
if (FALSE !== strpos($data, substr($sha1, 5))) {

@hazzlewis Good catch. I have updated the code.

Does it need the whole installation of the library first or this code alone will do the trick?

@MedeirosGuilherme Those lines is all that is needed.
