The use of passwords in a technological evolution

Deloitte predicts that in 2013 more than 90% of user generated passwords, even those considered strong by IT departments, will be vulnerable to hacking. The value of the information protected by passwords continues to grow attracting ill-intentioned hackers. The average user has 26 password protected accounts, but only five different passwords across those accounts.
