Employees’ Silly Passwords as Big Risk to Employers
This is the second password news of 2021 that I have noted. https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/05/solarwinds_sued/
“The lawsuit also points out that SolarWinds’ update server was at one time only protected by the ‘insanely bad password solarwinds123’, which was not a great indication of security being taken seriously.”
Humans, however, are not built to be able to remember and recall many complex text passwords, whereas removal of passwords would only bring disasters as discussed here — https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hitoshikokumai_identity-authentication-password-activity-6745927719697154048-V45j
Should the company bosses want to mitigate this risk, they could have their security staff look at ‘Non-Text’ secret credentials.
