The Hidden Costs of Passwords | |||
Passwords are generally viewed as a necessary evil; nobody wants to deal with them, but they get you where you need to go. Even after years of every website and application stressing the importance of setting up secure passwords, people still worry more about forgetting their password than the ramifications of getting hacked. Case in point: an analysis of 15 billion passwords determined the most common password is 123456. Even worse, the fourth most popular password is the word “password” itself.
