A little bit of background
The modern digital age is a fascinating thing to me. Technology really has come a long way in just a short span of time, and it’s now embedded in every part of our lives from the mundane to the critical. Our most personal and sensitive pieces of information live in this digital realm and are constantly at risk from threat actors around the world. And that’s one of the amazing things; the threats aren’t just obvious or local anymore, they are anything and everywhere. It’s remarkable that despite the level of critical sensitivity of our data, the password is still our most prolific choice for authorizing sensitive data. It’s true that we do have alternative authentication mechanisms now, like biometrics, one-time tokens, and a variety of others, but passwords remain the cardinal mechanism which most people will interact with. So one would assume that it would be pretty important for defenders to analyze passwords, their mechanisms, and their processes in order to help better protect people from the various threats in the world. Unfortunately, I have seen this as one of the area defenders are lagging behind in. There is research constantly being done, but not as much as there needs to be, not always for the benefit of people as a whole, and not often publicly.
