Passwords are often the only barrier between an attacker and a person's sensitive information or accounts, making them vulnerable to attack. Attackers can use various types of password attacks to discover or guess a person's password. Weak and easily guessable passwords, password reuse across multiple accounts, and password theft through keyloggers, phishing attacks, and social engineering are some of the reasons why passwords are vulnerable to attack.
