Credential theft 2025: exposed usernames and passwords have surged. Incidents tied to stolen or reused credentials show attackers increasingly log in rather than hack in. Here’s the three-step fix and where NordPass fits.

Credential theft 2025: passkeys and unique passwords stop login attacks
Credential theft 2025: passkeys plus unique, well-managed credentials reduce “login” attacks.

The problem: leaked credentials are surging, and reused passwords make account takeover cheap and fast.

The fix: move to passkeys, eliminate reuse, and continuously monitor for breaches. See our passkeys explainer for a quick primer.

Credential theft 2025: what to do now

  • Adopt passkeys — phishing-resistant by design; supported across major platforms and in NordPass.
  • Eliminate reuse — use a manager that enforces unique, strong credentials across every account.
  • Continuously monitor — watch for exposed emails, passwords, and cards so you can act early.

Where NordPass helps: native passkeys support; Password Health flags weak/reused/old passwords; a 24/7 Data Breach Scanner that also monitors credit cards; plus secure item sharing for families and teams. If your staff or family still share one password, you’re running unplanned SSO for attackers — retire it today.
