One-Password Brits At Risk Of Online Fraud

Silly, silly, silly.

At the very least bank passwords should be different. I've heard of numerous online shops being hacked in the past and credit card details published. It's not a big step to grab a password, although really websites should take the initiative and ensure they save their passwords in a non-discoverable way.

What I found kind of ironic, is my bank account password doesn't accept non alpha numeric characters.

Just to raise awareness, it's often very easy to retrieve your password, especially on social networking sites. For example security questions to retrieve your password like "what's your pet's name" and then writing an article on your page about how you took 'barny' for a walk is often just opening a huge security hole.
