Credential and Password Reuse
A system is only as secure as its most vulnerable point of exposure — and the weakest link is the user.
What this white paper covers:
- How bad reuse really is
52% of US consumers reuse a password across two or more accounts. 13% admit to using the same password across all of them.
- Credential stuffing as a gateway
Why reuse turns a breach at an unrelated site into an attack on yours, with no work required from the attacker.
- Who gets blamed
Consumers attribute account takeover to the site or app, not to their own reuse — which makes it a brand risk, not just a security one.
- Detecting the attack
The signals that distinguish systematic credential testing from legitimate login traffic.
