Study Q190025. Your Password |
|
Question -
Using a long string of letters and numbers as a password is probably hard to guess, but also easy to forget. On the other hand, using your date of birth is easy to remember, but also easy to guess. When developers create web sites that require password, what do you think the password requirements should be?

For sites that are information only with no requirement for personal details or payment information, passwords are irrelevant and should not have complicated requirements. For financial based sites, people should use complicated passwords for their own security regardless of the requirements. | Merryl | Australia | F | 60 | 3970870 | Numbers only | Alexander | Ghana | M | 24 | 3972358 | Special characters is a must. Technology advances and so does the password crackers etc.. | Bahador | Sweden | M | 38 |
