The underlying weakness: Weak Password Requirements

The product does not require that users should have strong passwords.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider a second authentication factor beyond the password, which prevents the password from being a single point of failure. See CWE-308 for further information.
  • Consider implementing a password complexity meter to inform users when a chosen password meets the required attributes.
