What is a dictionary attack?

A dictionary attack is technique of defeating a cypher by checking likely probabilities. For example, if you know that a certain company's email address system is firstname.lastname@company.com, you can surmise that Samantha Allen's address might be samantha.allen@company.com. Hackers often attempt similar tricks with passwords, going through a dictionary of likely passwords such as drowssap, secret, and 987654321. SolidPass's two-factor authentication security token can prevent dictionary attacks and protect your enterprise from unwanted entry.
