Do Users Put Your Organization at Risk with Browser-Saved Passwords?

Cybercriminals are always looking for easy ways to hack into your network and steal your users’ credentials.

Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report shows that attackers are increasingly successful using a combo of phishing and malware to steal user credentials. In fact, Password Dumpers takes the top malware spot making it easy for the bad guys to find and “dump” any passwords your users save in web browsers.

Our partner KnowBe4’s Browser Password Inspector (BPI) is a new and complimentary IT security tool that allows you to analyze your organization’s risk associated with weak, reused, and old passwords your users save in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge web browsers.

BPI checks the passwords found in the browser against active user accounts in your Active Directory. It also uses publicly available password databases to identify weak password threats and reports on affected accounts so you can take action immediately.

With Browser Password Inspector you can:
• Search and identify any of your users that have browser-saved passwords across multiple machines and whether the same passwords are being used
• Quickly isolate password security vulnerabilities in the browser and easily identify weak or high-risk passwords being used to access your organization’s key business systems
• Better manage and strengthen your organization's password hygiene policies and security awareness training efforts

Are you interested in trying out the BPI or finding out more about a secure password solution for your organization? We can help with both! Contact us below.
