Online banking, work computer, Wi-Fi connection, social networks… We live in an ocean of services and activities that require a password.
Any hacker with time and desire can access our protected information, and that is why computer security specialists do not stop advising on the best way to configure passwords : they must have more than eight characters and combine numbers, letters and keyboard signs; They must not refer to personal dates; they have to be changed periodically, and so on.
The point is that all this can be too much effort in these times of overstimulation: many people end up falling into what experts call password fatigue syndrome: they create them too simple and repeat them, with the danger that comes with it .
According to a study carried out in twenty-four countries, 40% of users do not worry about complicating their secret identifications. In fact, the most frequent password among users, fed up with constantly entering it, is 123456.
In addition, the McAffee company estimates that 60% of Internet users regularly visit between five and twenty pages that require a password, and that most simplify the process.
