Some of them have specific password requirements like minimum &amp; maximum character length, uppercase letters &amp; use of special characters (like %$#@ et cetera) among others! The result is average internet user has 19 passwords! Surprising part is that 47% of the online people deliberately use unsafe passwords as they find it hard to remember strong &amp; complex ones! Well, with increasing online security threats, be wise enough to use strong passwords for all your accounts. Avoid passwords based on Nicknames, Birthdays, Quotations, Pets &amp; Books as these are the first arms of hackers! Also, it\u2019s good practice to use 2-factor authentication, wherever available. And yeah\u2026 don\u2019t reuse password! 1 Password = 1 Account. There should be separate passwords for each account, else bear the risk of 1 Account Hacked = All Accounts Hacked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nakedsecurity.sophos.com\/2014\/10\/17\/average-person-has-19-passwords-but-1-in-3-dont-make-them-strong-enough\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">naked security<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/why-we-choose-terrible-passwords-and-how-to-fix-them-76619\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Conversation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Photo Thanks: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/password-app-application-business-2781614\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pixabay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to online Lifestyle, we log into hundreds of websites &amp; apps on a daily basis.
