Weak Password Policy

PreviousWAF Bypass Using HeadersNextXSS

Last updated 4 years ago

A weak password policy increases the probability of an attacker having success using brute force and dictionary attacks against user accounts. An attacker who can determine user passwords can take over a user's account and potentially access sensitive data in the application.

There are two ways in which this can be checked

First Way

  • Check if you can use Password same as that of Email Address

  • Check if you can use Username same as that of Email Address

  • Try above mentioned when Resetting Password , Creating Account , Changing Password from Account Settings

Second Way

  • Check if you can use Password some Weak Passwords such as 123456, 111111 , abcabc , qwerty123

  • Try above mentioned when Resetting Password , Creating Account , Changing Password from Account Settings

  • Applications usually have Restrictions on Password while Creating Account, Make sure you check for both the cases when Resetting Password
