Hello,

Bitdefender Internet Security informed that some of my passwords like windows user pass and router/wifi password are weak. How Bitdefender get access to these passwords?

Thanks,

Hello,

Bitdefender does not know the password you have, however, if the password is weak(meaning that it does not have the length of 8 characters and containing  letters, symbols and  numbers) such a notification might be prompted.

Bitdefender automatically checks your system for vulnerabilities and alerts you about them. It scans for the following:

● outdated apps on your computer.

● missing Windows updates.

● weak passwords to Windows user accounts.

● not secured wireless networks and routers.

Bitdefender provides two easy ways to fix the vulnerabilities of your system:

● You can scan your system for vulnerabilities and fix them step by step using the Vulnerability Scan option.

● Using automatic vulnerability monitoring, you can check and fix detected vulnerabilities in the Notifications window.
