Passwords Are Still Failing Us (World Password Day 2026)
Security Boulevard, Monday, May 11th, 2026
World Password Day was on May 7th-but are we actually getting better at password security?
In this episode, we discuss why compromised credentials are still behind the majority of breaches in 2026. From password reuse and phishing to infostealer malware and MFA bypass techniques, attackers are finding it easier than ever to log in instead of hack in. We also talk about whether passkeys can finally shift the landscape-and what organizations should be doing right now to reduce risk.
