AI cracks passwords by listening InnovateForge · Follow 3 min read · Just now Just now -- ShareArtificial Intelligence (AI) can indeed crack passwords by listening to keyboard clicks, a method known as an acoustic side-channel attack. In addition to acoustic side-channel attacks, AI can also be used to crack passwords through brute force and dictionary attacks. AI tools like PassGAN have been developed to crack passwords. It has been shown to crack over half of the common passwords fed to its system in under 60 seconds[3][9]. It’s also suggested to be aware of the sounds your keyboard makes when typing passwords, as these sounds could potentially be captured and analyzed[5].
