Weak Password Requirements

CWE-521

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

We track 81 vulnerabilities of this type. 100% are rated high or critical, and the average CVSS score is 8.6. 1 has been exploited in real attacks.

How this weakness is prevented

  • Architecture and Design: 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.
  • Implementation: Consider implementing a password complexity meter to inform users when a chosen password meets the required attributes.
