Many times you want to log in to a website that you haven't visited in a while. So you type in your username and password, press enter, and suddenly the Internet denies you access! Wrong password. Then you retype another similar password.
Wrong again! Your first thought is that you may have typed the original password wrong the first time, so you retype it more carefully. But it still comes out wrong! Eventually you end up typing so many passwordsthat you then have to create a new password and answer a bunch of questions to prove that you're not some rogue hacker trying to steal his own information.
It is a fact that it is often very difficult to remember so many passwords for different sites and studies show that most users think this way!
According to a new survey of 1,000 respondents from Keeper Security, more than 80 percent of users, aged 18 and over, reuse the same password across multiple different accounts.
“Our findings showed that password reuse across different applications is common, average password strength for mobile apps and websites is low, and that most users rarely change their passwords,” Keeper Security wrote in a summary of its research findings.
They also found that 29 percent of respondents share their passwords with two or more people and that 60 percent of people had to reset their password in the last 60 days.
Keeper Security, of course, would like you to download app , so it's only natural that they'd try to make you feel insecure about your password. But we can't deny that this report largely reflects the truth.
