Password Reuse Detection

Inspiration

We noticed that many people reuse the same password across multiple platforms, and a single data breach can put all their accounts at risk, which motivated us to work on this problem.

What it does

The project detects reused or similar passwords in real time and warns users before they become a security threat.

How we built it

We built a system that securely hashes passwords, compares them with previous password patterns, and calculates reuse risk without storing the actual password.

Challenges we ran into

Balancing strong security with user convenience and reducing false warnings was one of the main challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We successfully designed a privacy-preserving solution that can detect password reuse without compromising user data.

What we learned

We learned about secure password handling, hashing techniques, and the importance of usability in cybersecurity systems.

What's next for Password Reuse Detection

We plan to improve accuracy, integrate it into real-world applications, and add AI-based risk scoring in the future.
