ExpressVPN has published an article on the evolution of password security over the past 10 years. Cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler has published an analysis of part of the data from the recent 149 million credentials leak on the ExpressVPN blog, comparing current password habits with those from a decade ago.
During this research, Jeremiah noted some interesting and concerning findings:
- Only 15% of the passwords from 2025 could be classified as complex.
- 85% of current passwords typically contain known patterns from prior breaches or password-guessing models.
- It’s still common for people to reuse passwords across multiple accounts.
