However, the risk of passwords being hacked is also gradually increasing, with more than half of all passwords being cracked by AI in less than a minute, according to the latest research. This study also reveals the powerful ability of the PassGan password generator to learn from real password breaches through generative adversarial networks (GANs) and generate similarly commonly used passwords. Data breaches over the years have provided password generators with more fodder to train, further highlighting the importance of password security.
