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

http://j.mp/KAsARU  (New Scientist)

   "People over the age of 55 pick passwords double the strength of those
    chosen by people under 25 years old. That's according to the largest
    ever study of password security, which also found that most of us
    choose passwords that are less secure than security experts recommend."
