On the web we all have multiple accounts and identities: email, social networks, online shopping etc. It could be roughly estimated that most internet users juggle at least five different accounts and profiles. Given this situation, it seems many of us choose the easy way out when it comes to organising our online security. A fact that was just confirmed in a study by an American company specializing in IT security which announced that this year’s most popular password is “123456” dethroning the creative “password”, which was crowned in 2012.
