Credential theft is the breach story of 2025 — here’s how NordPass tackles it
Analysts report a 160% surge in exposed usernames and passwords in 2025. Recent incidents linked to stolen or reused credentials — including Snowflake customers such as Ticketmaster and Santander — show attackers increasingly log in rather than hack in. Here’s the three-step fix and where NordPass fits.
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.
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.
