Over-55s pick passwords twice as secure as teenagers'

This should be no surprise, and yet, I’m sure it will be to people. There’s a tendency to assume that people young enough to have had the internet and cell phones for their whole life would naturally be more savvy with it, but that forgets that youth is still youth. Comfort with the internet doesn’t mean that 15-year-olds now suddenly make much smarter decisions than their counterparts of 30 years ago. People always have and always will learn safety and security through experience. Passwords are no exception.
