Password Security | APR 23 Newsletter
The use of AI is changing the password security landscape by enabling hackers to break passwords faster and more accurately than ever before. AI algorithms can use machine learning to analyse vast amounts of data to guess passwords, and they can adapt their approaches to become more effective over time. To protect against these AI-powered attacks, individuals and businesses need to:
- Adopt long, strong, unique passwords that are not easily guessable or hackable
- Use two-factor authentication when possible
- Implement AI-based password security solutions (e.g. Dashlane, LastPass or Google Password Manager
- Create a plan to respond to potential breaches quickly
- Instigate regular password updates
- Implement cybersecurity awareness training for employees to maintain strong password security practices.
As AI technology improves, so too will its ability to crack passwords, making strong passwords even more crucial.
