The way we act on the Internet defines who we are on many occasions, we have the "Trolls", and of course, the beloved "Haters", among many other species of the Internet ecosystem. However, we must often look further to understand the convoluted human mind. And they have carried out a very interesting study about how we are or what word could better define us, depending on how we use and manage passwords on the internet Are you detail oriented, deliberate, or flexible? Find out with the data from this interesting study, and that we want to share with you so you can learn a little more about this interesting world.
The study has been carried out by Lab42 and shared on networks by Help Net Security and the spanish blog Microsiervos. So we can know a little more about people based on the type of passwords they use on the networks, and get an idea of how many users approximately correspond to this profile. They have divided the system into two groups:
Group 1
- Drivers (35%): They reuse the same password over and over again without distinction.
- Retailers (49%): They have created an individual formula to manage and remember the different passwords.
- Deliberate (86%): They care about maintaining a high level of security in passwords.
Group 2
- Raisins (45%): They don't worry because they don't believe they have relevant information of any kind.
- Confident (43%): They prefer the convenience of easy passwords, and put it before security.
- Flexible (50%): They do not use the service if it does not generate security for the maintenance of their private data.
- Concerned (86%): They are aware that not only passwords are the basis of online security
Conclusions
The worst thing is that only 5% of users know the aspects that make a password really secure, and 61% of those surveyed, despite knowing that their passwords are weak, do not care. All these classifications are compatible with each other, even of different groups, it all depends on the way of acting in the networks of each person in question And how are you?
