Four Ways to Stop AI From Guessing Passwords

This article explains how to safeguard your credentials from artificial intelligence password guessers.

Develop More Secure Passwords

Creating robust passwords is your first line of defense. Avoid using only numerals and lowercase characters. Whenever possible, use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and special characters (such as @, ,!, etc.). Never include private information such as your birthday or anything else that could be made public.

Minimum password strength is 17 arbitrary characters. For optimal results, use a password generator such as Norton Password Generator or Avast Random Password Generator.

Employ Two-Factor Authentication.

Two-factor authentication, also known as multi-factor authentication, increases the security of your credentials. It requires a code sent via email, text message, or a third-party app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Text messages can be intercepted, so using a 2FA app is your best option.

 

Frequently Alter Your Passwords

It may seem inconvenient to change your password every 90 days, but due to artificial intelligence password crackers, this practice is now more important than ever. You should never use the same password for multiple accounts.

 

Avoid Utilizing Public Wi-Fi

In general, you should avoid using public Wi-Fi connections because hackers target them most frequently. If you must use an unsecured network, avoid logging into your bank account or other accounts containing sensitive data.

What Are AI Password Guessing Programs?

Unlike previous hacking software, which relied on databases of prevalent and compromised passwords, AI password guessers use artificial intelligence to crack codes with significantly greater speed and precision. According to Home Security Heroes, artificial intelligence can deduce the most common passwords in less than one minute.

Combining capital and lowercase letters, numerals, and symbols can make passwords extremely difficult to crack. A password containing all of the preceding 18 characters would take an artificial intelligence over a billion years to deduce.

 

How do I remember all of my passwords?

People reuse passwords so they don't have to remember multitudes of different login credentials; how do you keep up?

Utilize a password manager to locally store all of your credentials. Thus, you can have a single master password that is unique to your device. Numerous password managers include password generators. If you have also enabled two-factor authentication, your logon information is protected by three layers of security, making it impenetrable to even the most intelligent AI password guessers.

 

FAQ

How can I generate a secure password?

If you do not have access to a password generator via a password manager or browser extension, you can create your own strong passwords from inception without having to type a lot of gibberish that will be difficult to remember. Use a short, easy-to-remember phrase that is still too lengthy for a program to decipher, and replace some letters with numbers or special characters. For instance, "I am feeling well today" could be written as "1@mf33!1ngw3!!tod@y."
