Online Password Security experts at Dashlane\u00ae have identified the password weaknesses of popular websites – ones you’re probably already using at home and work. <\/span><\/h4>\n
The latest research in online password security also shows that individuals and businesses are equally likely to experience the consequences of poor online password policies.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

From July 5 \u2013 July 14, Online password security experts at Dashlane\u00ae examined 37 popular consumer websites and 11 popular enterprise websites against five password security criteria:<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

1. Does the website require users to have passwords that are 8 or more characters?<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen creating a new account on each website, Dashlane\u00ae researchers attempted to create passwords less than eight characters irrespective of the sites\u2019 stated minimum password requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Does the website require users to have passwords with a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols?<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen creating a new account on each website, Dashlane researchers attempted to create passwords with all letters (\u201caaaaaa\u201d) or numbers (\u201c111111\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Does the website provide an on-screen password assessment meter to show users how strong their password is?<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen creating a new account on each website, we wanted to see if the site provided any notification, such as a meter or color-coded bar, they were credited as providing an assessment. Sites that only provided confirmed password length or where requirements were met did not receive credit.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Does the website allow 10 incorrect login attempts without providing additional security (CAPTCHA, account lockout, 2-Factor, etc.)?<\/strong><\/span>
\nDashlane researchers attempted to log in using incorrect passwords. If the\u00a0tester was able to continue entering incorrect credentials after 10 attempts without receiving any security mechanism, such as a CAPTCHA code or the account automatically locking, the site did not receive credit.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Does the website have support for 2-Factor Authentication?<\/strong><\/span>
\nA website was given credit if they offer any\u00a0two-factor or multi-factor authentication.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the study, a website received a point for each criterion they performed positively, for a maximum, and top score, of 5. A score of 3\/5 was deemed as passing and meeting the minimum threshold for good password security.
