Be sure to turn on two-factor authentication wherever you can, too, just in case your password does go down. Not only can they generate random, unique passwords for you, but they’ll help change your credentials when it’s time to yet again step up your password strength. The only way to stay secure is by employing the strongest passwords you can manage-and there’s help for that in the form of password managers. Just imagine that applied to data from never-ending hacks. AI models learn rapidly-you’ve probably seen how other applications that use artificial intelligence (i.e., AI-generated art, AI chat bots) are growing in leaps and bounds.
An 18-character password likely won’t solve our security needs forever. (A quintillion is one-billion billions, so in other words, that’s a six followed by a heck of a lot of zeros.) Home Security Heroes says that a password with 18 lower and upper case letters, symbols, and numbers would take 6 quintillion years to guess. We at PCWorld have said for years (and will keep saying!) to use long, random, and unique passwords for each site, but this experiment drives the point home. You can read more about Home Security Heroes’s findings in their blog post, but the biggest takeaway just may be how much randomness in a password can affect cracking time. Password manager Dashlane and PC maker Lenovo are among the first consumer-facing companies to take advantage of a little-known feature within Intel’s 8th-generation Core chips that could become.
