| Study Q210025. 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?

| 4052613 | I do not have any comments | Carlos | Brazil | M | 38 | | 4051452 | combination of both letters and numbers is important and making it short is best. | NSHIMYUMUKIZA | Rwanda | M | 28 | | 4052282 | More secure | Juan Paolo | Philippines | M | 37 | | 4051435 | Password is a must to prevent one’s account from being hacked. So it’s better to have strong and hard to figure password to prevent misuse by third parties. | Adrian Chew | Malaysia | M | 38 | | 4052514 | no comments | manuel | Spain | M | 63 | | 4052567 | A complex password makes it hard for someone else to memorize so this seems secure | Evidence | Malawi | F | 25 | | 4052471 | procuro fazer de varias maneiras | joao antonio | Brazil | M | 64 | | 4051421 | I usually let google generate a password for me. | Daniel | Israel | M | 31 | | 4052278 | I think it's very important not just a password but authentification or activation code that will send to your email or mobile number that you registered so that it's more secured. | Leon | Philippines | M | 47 | | 4051457 | nothing, thank you | Annie Catharine | India | F | 50 | | 4052549 | For safety reason | Von Herman | Indonesia | M | 31 | | 4051526 | better safe than sorry | Jerry Norman | Philippines | M | 64 | | 4052059 | but, it depends on what kind of website.
it can't be generalised for all websites,
as it is too big a concept of website.
for instance,
for those just fun n not important things, like just tv watching, no much private info in it, a simple 4 number is more than enough...
for very important things, with heaps of personal info in it, like banking n tax n canterlink n the likes, even better with at least 1 each of both capital letters n punctuation signs... | Gary | Australia | M | 65 | | 4051968 | Baik angka dan huruf dengan panjang 6 karakter atau lebih | Fathyasin | Indonesia | M | 34 | | 4052605 | Special characters should be considered too. This strengthen the password security. | Al-ameen | Nigeria | M | 34 | | 4051641 | When they start requiring symbols, that's when I tend to forget. | James | United States | M | 63 |
