According to marketing company CPP nearly half of Britishers using same password for their bank accounts, shopping websites and social networking sites. To make it even easier for fraudsters, many passwords are easy to guess. One in five people use their pet’s name, while 12 percent use memorable dates like birthdays. Ten percent go for their child’s name, and nine percent even use their mother’s maiden name.
Sarah Blaney, identity theft expert at CPP, said:
No sensible person would use the same key for their house, car and garage. In the same way, we shouldn’t use the one password for everything. If possible people should use multiple passwords with a combination of letters and numbers, which should be difficult to crack.
