They are not perfect, they can have security issues, but not using a password manager is the equivalent of saying that bridges can collapse, so you will swim across the river. If you reuse passwords, no matter how complex the password is, some day the password leaks, and every service you use can be attacked.Ī password manager solves both problems: creates long, complex and unique passwords for every service, and requires you to only remember the master password. So a leak like RockYou will mean your simple password is leaked, and a service you use will probably be compromised. If your password is weak, it was used by lots of people too. It solves the two most prominent issues with passwords: weak passwords, and password reuse. That's why everyone needs a password manager. And that wordlist is used on lots of bruteforce tools, so it will be used on emails, routers, Active Directory accounts, and everything on the internet that uses a login and password for authentication. We will also need a wordlist such as rockyou.txt in order to crack the password. Once we have the hash, we can use Aircrack-ng. This is what we are trying to collect and crack. This is the hash which is present in the handshake. This gets hashed and becomes 161ebd7d45089b3. No matter if someone had a 64 byte password, with a mix of symbols, letters, numbers, capitals, and unicode chars, if he had an account at RockYou, the password leaked. Let’s say our wireless password is Pssw0rd. That list was from a company (RockYou) that stored all passwords in clear. Stop right here, install a password manager, then come back. it only means nobody on that list have the same password as you.
