摘要：Now days, Proactive Password checking tools are used to choose safe Credentials (Id/Password). It is a well-known problem in computer security that human chosen passwords are insecure because these passwords taken from small domain. A small password domain enables hackers to crack credentials by trying all possible id/passwords, until they find the correct one. This attack is known as a “dictionary attack”. Proactive password checking enforces password policies and prevents users from choosing easily guessable passwords. Proactive password checking method provides an automatic tool which check whether the given credential is safe or not and find the relationship between user profile and credentials. In this paper, we discussed about the threats of user profile and credentials. The user profiling is a most frequent activity over the internet by which user has asked to provide personal information. Proactive password checking technique is introduced to solve these problems. It is used to determine whether the password choice is acceptable or not. Different techniques, mechanism and tools of proactive password checking are also discussed in this paper. The main concern is to check the level of association between different fields of user profile with credentials
