The acceleration of the use and advancement of artificial intelligence technology allows people to do many things with their computers and smart devices in the blink of an eye.
Recent research from Home Security Heroes has shown that artificial intelligence technology can guess the most commonly used passwords in seconds depending on the combination of letters and numbers used.
The company uses PassGAN password generator software that uses a Generative Adversarial Network to find a list of compromised passwords to generate passwords that are safer to use.
In a nutshell, PassGAN uses a generator and discriminator system, which generator system will provide a false data discriminator system that allows this software as a whole to distinguish between correct and false leaked password data to give users a more secure password. secure and hard to hack.
According to a study by Home Security Heroes, a 13-character password using only numbers can be guessed in three minutes, while a seven-character password with a combination of lower and uppercase letters can be hacked in 22 seconds.
Even so, an eight-character password that uses a combination of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols takes seven hours to crack, and that number increases dramatically with more characters, where the same combination of 12 characters will take PassGAN 30,000 year to hack.
As always, people are advised to use passwords with 12-15 characters using a combination of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and symbols to make sure your password is really secure. It's also a good idea to use a password manager app so you don't have to remember words. complicated path every time you need to log in your online accounts.
