The Illusion of Security: Why You Should Never Use AI to Generate Passwords

Cybersecurity experts from Irregular warn against using ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to create passwords. While they may seem complex, AI follows predictable algorithms rather than true randomness. Testing revealed that after just 50 generations, chatbots began producing similar patterns and even exact duplicates. Such passwords can be cracked in a matter of hours. Experts recommend using dedicated password managers like Bitwarden or 1Password, or built-in solutions from Apple and Google that rely on uniform probability distribution.
