Favourite sports teams are often used as passwords but they shouldn't be, notes a study.
With football season about to kick off, password manager app Dashlane, along with Virginia Tech researchers led by Gang Wang, put together an analysis to see which teams were the top-ranking password choices.
Teams from the NFL and English Premier League were the focus for the Analytics Team who used Wang's anonymised database of 61.5 million passwords, from 107 datasets, to establish the top-related passwords in football, as well as gain a “deeper understanding of how weak passwords are generated,” notes the Dashlane blog.
