Protect against password spraying

Password spraying is a type of brute force attack where hackers use a single common password across many accounts to gain unauthorized access, exploiting the weaknesses of traditional password systems. Unlike credential stuffing, which relies on known compromised credentials, password spraying targets accounts with weak or default passwords, often found in cloud-based services lacking multi-factor authentication (MFA). Effective prevention measures include using strong, unique passwords, implementing advanced authentication protocols like MFA, and employing security tools such as intrusion detection systems. Stytch offers solutions like passwordless authentication, device fingerprinting, and "unphishable" MFA to protect against such attacks, enhancing security by requiring additional verification steps and reducing reliance on easily compromised credentials, while also improving user experience through features like single sign-on (SSO).
