AI Tools for Creating Password Exclusion Lists

/ 1 min read

🔑 Enhancing Password Security with Custom Dictionaries and AI Tools. Organizations often overlook basic password protections, making them vulnerable to dictionary attacks where hackers guess commonly used passwords. To combat this, creating a custom password dictionary can block weak passwords, incorporating standard weak terms, company-specific names, and industry jargon. AI tools like ChatGPT can assist in generating these dictionaries by analyzing known weak passwords and suggesting variations based on company details. Regular updates and additional security measures, such as multi-factor authentication and breach monitoring, are essential for comprehensive protection. Tools like Specops Password Policy can further enhance security by integrating custom dictionaries with real-time breach checks.
