Recently, I have come across a blog in ecommerze.blogspot.com. This blog is mainly talking about "What are the passwords commonly used by most of the Internet users?"
Based on a statistical analysis of 28,000 passwords from a US website, the re
sult reveals that people often do the easy things. Why say so? This is because, after the research has been done,it was found that 16% of Internet users preferably took their first name as a passwords and another 14% relied on easiest keyboard combination such as 123 and 123456. Not only that, there are 5% of Internet users like to use the name of movie or name of popular star as their password. This is particular true to the young teenagers. Besides, the words such as "password", "Yes", "I love you" or even "I hate you" are commonly used by the users.
Robert Graham, researcher who did this analysis and published the conclusion advises the users that to better protect against cyber intrusion, users are encouraged to choose a password which is longer than eight characters with one capital letter and one symbol.

Passwords that show no imagination and distinctiveness are easy prey for information pirates.For more information, please visit to the links below:
