This leads to both usability and secutiry problems on websites. Their frequency of use varies as well. All of these factors contribute to a password management problem. These mechanisms are often at odds with good security guidelines. We conducted a survey of 125 people to explore this issue.
Results support the broad hypothesis that people deviate from secure password practices.
However, they deviated in many ways, with few discernable trends among the various demographic groups. We conducted a web based survey to explore these issues. We specifically targeted information technology savvy individuals in distributing the survey. We administered web-based survey to SmartFurniture customers and site visitors. The results of the survey indicated that users of SmartFurniture are mostly between the ages 25 and 44, have various levels of online shopping experience, and are shopping for furniture for both home and office settings.
