Protection of Login: 7 Best practices to keep your online accounts secure 

For many businesses, login security is still an unexplored corner that 

does not get much attention. 

In reality, there are so many mistakes that can leave your account 

vulnerable to cyber threats. Hackers can read your email, transfer 

money out of your bank account, sell your data in the dark web, expose 

your session to a CSRF attack, hijacked sessions, etc. 

No wonder security executives and flag bearers emphasize the 

advantages of a secure and optimized login process—not just from the 

consumer's perspective but also from ensuring business credibility. 

5 Most Common Login Security Vulnerabilities 

It's hard out there to secure login. If a hacker gets hold of your account, 

they can do anything with it (it can get as worse as leaving the account 

owner bankrupt). 

So when you ask how bad can it get, you are actually asking about the 

common login security vulnerabilities. And that means you need to be on 

the lookout for the following flaws: 

● User-generated credentials: When consumers create their own 

passwords, there is always a possibility that they will come up with 

credentials that are weak and easily vulnerable to cyber attacks. 

Because consumers are more inclined to have something that's 

easy to remember, they may subconsciously skip password 

security best practices. As a result, hackers can adjust their 

brute-force systems and crack open passwords in no time. 

● Brute-force attacks: When hackers use a method of trial and error 

to guess correct passwords, that's a brute-force attack. Usually, 

these attacks are automated using a list of frequently used 

usernames and passwords. Hackers use dedicated tools to make 

vast numbers of login attempts at high speed.
