Passwords are the bane of modern tech - not only are good ones hard to come up with, but they also have to be constantly changed, could be the targets of phishing attacks and have inane rules about letters, characters and numbers that are impossible to remember. Which is why most people use simple, easy-to-recall passwords, or recycle the same old ones for several different accounts - as this report from security firm Kasperskyclaimed 1 in 7 people do.
