AI Is Making Passwords Harder to Keep Safe

AI is becoming increasingly capable- and that is creating new challenges for password security. Recent cybersecurity testing showed that Google’s Gemini AI model was able to gain access to the systems of three organizations, including one case where it reportedly guessed a real organization’s password.

This video explains how AI can accelerate password guessing, how exposed password-related information can be misused, and why traditional password security still matters in the age of AI.

We also look at key security practices, including:

• Using unique passwords for every account
• Using a password manager
• Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Using passkeys where available
• Limiting unnecessary access permissions
• Avoiding easy-to-guess passwords
