OurConsider password meters, a common way to nudge people toward stronger passwords. They do some good, but they can’t help every individual choose their strongest password, because they are designed with the average user in mind, not taking into account differences in people’s personal traits and tendencies.
Yet few people are “average.” People who are good with numbers, for example, might be more motivated by being shown how long it would take a hacker to crack their password, rather than a simple “weak” to “strong” scale. Others might respond best to seeing how strong their password is compared with other people’s. We found that the most effective password nudges are targeted with differences like these in mind.
In our study, the effect of personalization was even larger than we had expected: When participants were given a password nudge tailored to their individual traits and tendencies, the passwords they created would have taken attackers about four times more resources and time to crack than passwords created by others who received a nudge that wasn’t personalized. And they were more than 10 times harder to crack than those of participants who weren’t nudged in any way.
We also found that personalized nudges didn’t have the undesired consequence of people creating passwords too strong for them to remember. Those who received personalized nudges were as likely as the other participants to remember their passwords when asked to do so in a follow-up study.
