I agree - download all the passwords and don't single out what you're checkign for someone else to see.
I don't know why we can't use this kind of thing for better privacy everywhere.
A similar example (outside the realm of passwords) would be when checking for a software update. Instead of sending "i have software xyz version 1.2.3", just download a current list of software and check it locally against your software. Probably would be faster anyway to download a static dataset instead of hitting a remote database.
