According to a recent survey, mostly people use the same password when they login to different web sites. They just do it because they think that they might forget different passwords.

So, by using same password on multiple sites which they visit or for different accounts, they are just allowing and making easier the job of hackers to steal data or passwords.

Accenture consultancy made interview of “800″ computer users in the U.S. and the U.K. and asked to the computer users regarding passwords, they found that half of the users have same password for different sites.

When a computer user, uses the same password for different sites, a hacker who breaks into one account can easily hack or attack the other accounts as well and can steal your important information.

One more important result which they derived from the survey that most of the people does not change their password for long period of time. It’s also not good for the internet users.

So you must be getting informed through this survey that, if you are using the same password for multiple sites then try to chose special password for each site. The second thing is that change your password frequently , lets suppose once in two months. By adapting these two tips you can prevent yourself while you are using internet.
