Generative AI Tool Passwords: Not as Strong as They Seem
A recent study by AI security firm Irregular reveals that popular generative AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini produce passwords that may appear strong but are surprisingly weak. Here’s what they found:
- Common Patterns: The AI-generated passwords often follow easily guessable patterns, making them vulnerable to hacking.
- Insufficient Randomness: Tests showed that 50 generated passwords contained only 30 unique entries, with many repeating characters or patterns.
- Quickly Crackable: Entropy calculations indicate LLM-generated passwords can be brute-forced in hours, rather than centuries.
Given these findings:
- Security Recommendations: It’s crucial to use third-party password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden for truly secure passwords.
- Awareness Needed: As AI becomes pervasive in coding, the risks of using LLMs for password generation extend beyond just security.
