Abstract
A method and an apparatus of detecting a weak password are disclosed. The method comprises: receiving a password to be detected; acquiring an identity information set of a user of the password to be detected, the identity information set including a plurality of pieces of identity information of the user and associated users thereof; detecting whether identity information associated with the password to be detected exists in the identity information set; and determining that the password to be detected is a weak password if the identity information associated with the password to be detected exists in the identity information set. The technical solution of the present disclosure can detect whether a password to be detected is set up by a user using identity information thereof or identity information of a user who be closely associated therewith, thus determining whether the password to be detected is prone to cracking, and thereby further improving the security of the password of the user.
