Many people today rely on AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for everyday tasks, both at home and at work.
From writing emails to solving problems, these tools have become extremely popular.
But when it comes to creating passwords, relying on AI may not be the best idea.
Experts warn that using AI to generate passwords could actually put your accounts at risk instead of protecting them.
AI-Generated Passwords May Not Be Truly Random
Research has found that many AI chatbots create passwords that look strong but often follow similar patterns.
In one study, 50 passwords were generated using AI tools, but only 23 of them were truly unique.
One password — K9#mPx$vL2nQ8wR — appeared 10 different times.
Many of the other passwords also used nearly identical structures, such as similar combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Among the chatbots tested, ChatGPT produced slightly stronger passwords.
However, even those still showed repeated patterns, which can make them easier for hackers to predict.
Why AI Struggles With “Random” Results
AI chatbots are designed to generate responses based on patterns learned from data.
This means they don’t produce completely random results.
For example, if you ask a chatbot to generate a random number multiple times in different chats, you may notice that the same numbers appear again and again.
The same pattern can happen with passwords as well.
Because of this limitation, AI-generated passwords may not provide the level of security people expect.
Weak Passwords Can Put Your Money at Risk
Today, most financial activities happen on smartphones. People use mobile apps for banking, payments, and managing investments.
If these accounts are protected by weak or predictable passwords, cybercriminals may be able to guess them more easily.
Once hackers gain access, they could potentially empty bank accounts or misuse personal data.
For better security, experts recommend using trusted password managers or built-in password generators instead of relying on AI chatbots to create passwords.
These tools are specifically designed to produce truly random and secure passwords.
