Microsoft researchers offer easy codes

Users are overwhelmed with articles and tutorials for correct code in their various Internet profiles, with the Microsoft now to break his "rule" difficult code!

Microsoft password

As has been reported several times, one "Correct" code must have at least 8 characters, which must include numbers, symbols and capitalized and lowercase characters.

The researchers Microsoft, however, Dinei Florencio, Cormac Hurley and Paul C. van Oorschot, they suggest users to use simple codes and to reuse some older so they do not get tired of remembering young people.

Of course, they do not recommend this for accounts with sensitive personal data such as Facebook, Gmail or other popular ones , but to and e-communities, which is already done 96% of users, as their study has shown.

But surely users must be very careful with the accounts in at or in the web banking service they use, in everything it has to do with Financial transactions.

Applications like LastPass (add-on to all browsers but also to Android smartphones and iPhones) they suggest a strong password when subscribing to a service, which he stores (and syncs between devices), but it is difficult for the user to be remembered.

However, researchers suggest that users, as shown by 96% of their study, that in web sites without "critical" personal data, a simple and easy-to-remember code is the appropriate solution.
