A hacker can crack a simple 6 character password in just a few seconds.\u00a0 <\/span>

Research, commissioned by Auth0<\/a> working with YouGov revealed that 91 percent of us know that using the same password or a variation of it is risky…but 61 percent do it anyway.\u00a0 If you\u2019re also in the habit of using the same password for everything, use a password manager and then create unique passwords for everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Across the world, password reuse is still alive and well, with nearly nine in ten consumers (88%) admitting to the practice.<\/p>\n
