From the «you be me, i'll be you» department: Title: Smarter People Don't Have Better Passwords, Study Finds Author: help@slashdot.org Date: Tue, 15 May 2018 17:41:00 -0400 Link: http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/KtHJcXda-9o/smarter-people-dont-have-better-passwords-study-finds An anonymous reader shares a report: A study carried out at a college in the Philippines shows that students with better grades use bad passwords in the same proportion as students with bad ones. The study's focused around a new rule added to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guideline for choosing secure passwords -- added in its 2017 edition. The NIST recommendation was that websites check if a user's supplied password was compromised before by verifying if the password is also listed in previous public breaches. If the password is included in previous breaches, the website is to consider the password insecure because all of these exposed passwords have most likely been added to even the most basic password-guessing brute-forcing tools.
