Letting Gemini replace compromised passwords sounds like a recipe for disaster

If you reuse passwords across multiple accounts, you're not alone. A recent Forbes Advisor study found that, on average, Americans reuse the same password for at least four accounts. This is despite reused passwords accounting for approximately 30% of compromised passwords in 2024. Of course, this is nothing new, tales of data breaches occur every year, prompting yet another focus on how poor our passwords are at protecting our accounts. Attempts to replace passwords with passkeys are ongoing, but passwords are here to stay for the foreseeable future, and so are their vulnerabilities.
