In 2014, there was 251,626,870 people in the age groups from 15 to 84. These age groups most closely resemble the active technology users who would be using a password. One out of six would be nearly 42 million people in the US that are selecting their pet\u2019s name as a password!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At nFront Security, we understand how stressful it can be to select a new password. The new password you select will be with you for a minimum of a few months. It is easy for us to resort to our beloved pet\u2019s name for a simple password selection. As you are aware, if everyone is selecting Bailey, Max, and Charley, then these passwords are not looking very secure anymore! You are an easy target for a hacker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a suggestion for you.  Instead of using your pet\u2019s name as a password that you know is not secure, start selecting pet names that are password-secure!
