Which password attack technique involves attempting access with a set of commonly used passwords on multiple user accounts to avoid account lockout policies?
Brute force attack
Dictionary attack
Password spraying
Credential stuffing
Password spraying is a technique used by attackers where they try common passwords against many different accounts to find a match. They do this without triggering the account's lockout policy as they do not make too many attempts on a single account. It differs from brute force attacks which generally try many password combinations on one account, potentially triggering lockout mechanisms.
