The Alarming Speed at Which AI Can Crack Your Passwords

A new report by Home Security Heroes shows how an AI tool called PassGAN can crack common passwords in minutes or seconds by analyzing real passwords from actual leaks. The report found that 81% of common passwords could be cracked in less than a month, 71% in less than a day, 65% in less than an hour, and 51% in less than a minute. To protect against password cracking, experts recommend using strong password patterns, changing passwords regularly, not using the same password across multiple accounts, and using a password manager.
