8/ National quirks: 33 % of German reusers say “Never had a breach, so I’m fine.” In the US, 60 % blame too many logins.

7/ Generation gap: Gen Z shows the highest reuse rate, but Baby Boomers spread each reused password across the most accounts.

6/ It gets riskier: among people with only 1–2 go-to passwords, 50% skip any tweak. Of that group, 42–44 % in the US/UK and 36 % in Germany reuse those basics on 5 + sites.

5/ About two-thirds claim they “change” reused passwords, but most edits are not really edits: adding ‘1’, ‘!’ or swapping 2024 for 2025. Attackers script those patterns first. If you can devise the tweak in seconds, so can their bots.

4/ Why reuse? “Easier to remember” tops the chart in the US (57 %) and Germany (54 %). In the UK, the same amount of respondents fear forgetting unique strings. A password manager solves both: generates strong passwords and autofills them so you never memorise them.

2/ 3 reused passwords cover most of those 130 logins. Lose 1 and dozens of accounts unlock at once. Quick self-check: write down every password you can recall unaided. If the list is under 10, you’re — vulnerable.

15/ Autofill’s consistent reliability also comes from constant iteration:
- Adding new rules and keywords to adapt to evolving web standards.
- Retraining models when patterns change.
- Improving submit button detection to refine form boundaries.

14/ And lastly, there’s the matter of massive forms.
Some websites think it’s a great idea to stuff 50,000 characters of text into a single form, just like that. (Why? Who knows?)
NordPass is designed to skip the bloat and opt for alternative solutions, to avoid slowing your browser.

13/ The ability to revisit forms dynamically allows autofill to stay one step ahead – even when forms aren’t cooperative.
We constantly fine-tune this process, adapting to the ever changing quirks of contemporary web design.

12/ But there’s more that Autofill has to deal with:
Animations and boundary detection errors.
When fields load via animations or after interactions, the system re-scans in real-time to ensure accuracy.

10/ If the model is confident enough, autofill works. If not? Nothing happens.
NordPass doesn’t gamble with bad guesses. For example, if the top probability is only 40%, autofill won’t act. The system uses thresholds to ensure reliability.

9/ Once labeled, forms are converted into numerical vectors – essentially, a way to feed them into the ML model without making the model weep.
The classifier uses a softmax as the last activation function (which, despite sounding cuddly, is just math) to assign probabilities to form types.

7/ And when forms get too weird, NordPass engineers step in (yes the real flesh-and-blood humans) to manually label and define the rules to teach the ML model what’s what.
This process is both painstaking and strangely philosophical.

6/ But some forms are, like, really ambiguous.
Take AWS forms, for instance. One field might say “Account Name” and another “Email” and there might be one labeled “Phone number.”
Care to guess which one’s the username? It’s not always obvious.

5/ Here’s how it does that:
- It looks for submit buttons to figure out where the form begins and ends.
- It extracts features like password fields, text inputs, and links.
- It even recognizes different languages.

4/ Now you’re thinking: “OK, so why not just fix the forms?”
That’s cute. That’s like asking why we don’t just fix the internet.
NordPass does the next best thing: It embraces the chaos.

3/ You see, web forms are not as cooperative as you’d think. They’re chaotic, inconsistent, and often downright antagonistic ML-wise.
Some forms hide fields behind animations. Some lack clear boundaries, lumping unrelated fields together.

2/ Autofill is not magic. It’s a Machine Learning (ML) powered classifier that stares at a form like a puzzled student over a test:
“Two inputs. One says password. What am I looking at?”
“Login? Registration? Help.”
And yet, it gets it right.
