Brute force attacks exploit weak passwords. Using strong, unique passwords and rate-limiting authentication attempts prevents such breaches.
Using strong, unique passwords for different accounts is crucial for protecting your online security. Brute force attacks are automated attempts to guess passwords by trying different combinations until the correct one is found. By using strong passwords that are a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters, you make it much harder for attackers to guess them. Additionally, rate-limiting authentication attempts can help prevent these types of attacks by limiting the number of login attempts a user can make within a certain period, slowing down attackers trying to guess passwords.
