Strong Passwords and AI: Do Password Managers Still Matter?
Attackers use AI to write convincing phishing messages. Your best defense is boring and effective.
Use a password manager
Unique long passwords for every site stop one breach from spreading.
Turn on two-factor
Prefer app-based codes or hardware keys over SMS.
Try passkeys
Passkeys replace passwords with device-based login and resist phishing.
- Enable where supported.
- Keep a recovery method.
- Secure your device lock.
Spot AI-written phishing
Polished writing is no longer a sign of safety.
- Check the sender address.
- Do not click urgent links.
- Go to the site directly.
Key takeaway: Unique passwords, two-factor and passkeys beat AI-powered phishing.
