Password Fortress

Hackers attack in ten waves: brute force, leaked passwords, fake login pages, SIM swaps. Pick the strongest password or the setting that holds the gate, and learn why it works.

10 waves
Cybersecurity

How to play

Read the attack. Each wave names the attack: guessing, brute force, credential stuffing, phishing, social engineering…
Hold the gate. Pick the strongest password, or the setting that stops that attack.
Beat the clock. 16 seconds for the first wave, a little less each time. A wrong pick or a timeout costs a life.
Learn. Every wave explains the defence; password waves show how long each option would last.

Quick tips

Length wins. A long passphrase of random words beats a short password full of symbols.
One site, one password. Leaked passwords get tried everywhere. A password manager keeps them unique.
