  A word recycler would churn out used passwords? If only foresight could have foresoot this.

    You also had it right in the first place. Very likely that the training data sets could have included random files and password leaks. I don’t think they’re discriminating at this point.

      It would explain why the same strings appear over and over in generated results. Its just one of the tokens most associated with “Password”

  Any password manager worth using will generate secure passwords. There is absolutely no reason to use AI for that.

    Sometimes there’s something wrong with the way a website does login and the password manager options won’t trigger. In this case AI can be useful for telling you to install pwgen.

    But how do you vibe code a password manager without having itself use AI? That would require actual programming knowledge.

  Lol I have so many questions:

  1. Why would you use AI to generate passwords?

  2. Why would you consume so much resources for a simple algorithm which has existed for decades?

  3. Who is doing this?

  Tell the world you have no idea how passwords work without telling the world you have no fucking clue how passwords work, OP.

  Lmfao we’ve gone from the entropy wall to stochastically-generated passphrases. What a time to be alive.

  Omg this reminds me of a networking project I was working recently on where I found out my vibe coding friend had pasted his ssh keys into an LLM.

  That really something that doesn’t need to be solved by ai because it already works better without and in most cases without problems.

  It’s a little off topic, but this gives me a good platform to ask a question I’ve been wondering for a while. Also, I know lemmy is full of folks who follow the tech and security trends.

  Anyway, my question is this: is this thinking when it comes to passwords still at all relevant?:

    Kind of. The best advice now is to use a password manager so you dont need to remember passwords at all - in which case just make it random with as many characters as allowed and youre done.

    But for remembering passwords, the longer the better and replacing some letters with numbers and random characters is helpful too.

  What kind of absolutely insanely mad and psychotic mind an individual should have to generate passwords with AI?

    Idiots who don’t know how cryptography and gen AI works.
