"Bypassing Popular Passwords"

A new model for password protection has been proposed by Jaryn Shen and Qinqkai Zeng of the State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, and Department of Computer Science and Technology, at Nanjing University, China. The new approach is aimed to protect passwords from online and offline attacks without requiring users to create and memorize their passwords as it is difficult to get users to create more complex passwords, use password managers, and enable multi-factor authentication. This article continues to discuss the new password protection approach proposed by researchers.
