Passwords have been around since the early days \u2014 in 200 B.C., the Romans used them on a day-to-day basis<\/a> to organize and manage actions of military units.<\/p>\n

With the evolution to the digital age, everybody and their dog has a password or two, but with that said, this protective measure becomes very unreliable and insecure when people use passwords improperly.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Lab analysed<\/a> how users protect their online accounts in a recent research study. It turns out that, almost one third of those surveyed have two or three similar passwords for ALL<\/em> of their accounts. Additionally, one in seven respondents uses ONE<\/em> password for all of their accounts. \u00a0Pretty shocking stuff, all things considered.<\/p>\n
