Users should prefer weak passwords over strong: Microsoft Research

A new research from Microsoft says, users should use weak passwords for sites that do not contain important information.

The research said that weak passwords help users preserve brainpower for where it is required.

According to The Guardian, users should use weak passwords on websites that do not contain substantial information, sys Microsoft research.

Strong passwords should rather be kept aside for important sites like banking or e-commerce.

While users are allowed to use completely unique passwords, they also witness a drawback whereby they might lose their passwords to password managers at any point leading to hacking issues.

The study argues that users should pick easy passwords for unimportant sites to reduce risks of hacking.
