AI-generated passwords are surprisingly easy to crack, researchers find

Security researchers discovered that popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini create weak passwords despite appearing complex. These models produced highly predictable patterns, with Claude generating only 30 unique passwords from 50 attempts and consistently starting passwords with specific letters like "G" followed by "7." The issue stems from how AI systems work—they're designed to generate statistically probable patterns rather than true randomness, making their passwords easy to crack despite containing special characters and mixed cases.
