Digital Security (Assignment One)

1. All the passwords are easy to guess, things such as 12345 and 123456789 are the first things that come to mind to me, when trying to think of a password. Some things like qwerty are a little harder because most people don't know the meaning of the letters.

2. I have not used any of these in particular, but I have used some pretty similar things. I however, only use them on accounts that I genuinely don't care about, such as websites where I expect to only log in once anyway.

3. I imagine that adults are more likely to do things such as this. This is a stereotype but I'm guessing that most seniors don't know the severity of having an easy to guess password. The easiest way to help is to just inform them.

4. A pets name
    A family members name
Both of these make it really easy for anyone who knows you to get into your accounts

And fruit (Apple for example)

5.A password doesn't need to be long, to be strong. But I think that a password should be at least 6 characters long.
