Many people use simple easy to remember passwords that do not require much thought or using the same simple password for everything. Those are common mistakes amongst password users. In order to insure your accounts are safe creating a strong password and creating habits that increase the security are a necessity.

There have been many efforts to create systems without considering the users. Furnell (2007) found that while the rules for password creation had been clearly established, websites were doing little to educate users. Campbell et al. (2011) tested a system that did enforce proper password creation but seemed perplexed why this did not reduce password reuse or the incorporation of personal information into passwords. This highlights one obvious problem in password research as there is a hyper-focus on user ability to remember a singular password while ignoring that users need passwords for dozens of applications (Grawemeyer & Johnson, 2011).

For decades the password is known as the most common using type of authentication. It is explained as “word” which known to an user and a computer (Pfleeger et al, 2006). According to Pfleeger et al (2006) it might contain some information that the users provide or sometimes it can be chosen automatically by the system. It can be seen that choosing password is essential in terms of security and convenience for the users. However, it has some weaknesses such that it could be less secure and easy to guess.
