PREFACE

In the preparation of this project PASSLOG the purpose is to find out how todays password
handling and security works. It will also check, with the help of a survey, how different
organizations and ordinary people handle their own passwords and many of them have been
breached. How often they change them, their view on how secure the passwords are and if
they use tools to help keep changing and handle their passwords.

Many different tools are available to help users create and handle their passwords. In this
project, a few selected password management and generator programs will be tested to see
how they work.

It is something that’s easy to use and advantages that it bring to everyday users, in regard to
letting oneself keep the control of the passwords. The results of the survey, regarding user
view on password security, will be compared with information regarding how one should
reason to create secure passwords. One can find a lot of advice from both companies and
experts on how a secure password should look like.

ABSTRACT

This project report highlights the differences and similarities in the thought process between
security experts and regular people. We did this with the help of a survey, which show that
when our control group is faced with a security critical situation they tend to read up on the
problem and at least do as asked. The survey did test how they chose passwords given
different choices, and password memorability seems to be favored. We also see a tendency
to not trust third party password management solutions.

Experts, focuses on what exactly does the people working with password security and
password management think. Where are the weaknesses of passwords today? Is it the users
which is the problem or has the focus shifted? What exactly does people think about
password security and password management?

There are many different APIs which have saved data for past several years of many
breached or stolen credentials and this part plays an important role in our project to check the
level of security the person carry.
