AI is coming for your passwords – better make them strong

AI is rapidly advancing the ability to crack passwords, with even complex ones potentially vulnerable in seconds. Cybersecurity experts warn that by 2025, AI tools will dramatically reduce the time needed to guess or brute force passwords. Simple passwords like "123456" remain extremely common despite security risks. To stay safe, experts recommend using long, random passwords with a mix of characters, avoiding personal information, and considering password managers or biometric passkeys as alternatives.
