Introduction In an era defined by the relentless evolution of cyber threats, businesses' security landscape has undergone a profound transformation. Data breaches, once regarded as sporadic and isolated incidents, have become a pervasive and ever-present danger, fueled in part by the inherent vulnerabilities of traditional authentication methods. At the heart of this vulnerability lies the reliance on passwords, which have proven to be an increasingly inadequate defense against sophisticated attacks. Despite efforts to promote password best practices, the prevalence of weak, easily guessable passwords remains a significant Achilles' heel for organizations of all sizes. Compounding this issue is the rapid advancement of hacking techniques, which can render even the most complex passwords susceptible to compromise in a matter of minutes. Faced with this escalating threat landscape, businesses must embrace a proactive approach to security that goes beyond traditional methods. Ente
Introduction: Authentication has two components: identification, the process of verifying that a user is who they say they are, and authentication, the process by which the source or origin of data or system activity is verified. Together, these processes help ensure that only authorized users can access network resources and data. Passwords are often used to verify both identification and authentication. However, passwords fail miserably as a form of authentication because they can be stolen or guessed just as easily as they can be chosen more carefully. The more security experts look at how people use passwords, the more it becomes clear that we need a better solution. Some of the most common security issues in password-based login include: 1. Brute Force Attack : A brute force attack is an attempt to hack a password by trying every possible combination of characters until the right one is found. This method, which relies on the attacker having only a limited amount of informat
