INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The research, led by Ph.D
student Jacob Abbott, IU CIO Daniel Calarco, and professor L
requirements such as a 15-character minimum length deter the vast majority of IU users (99.98 percent) from reusing passwords or passphrases
on password reuse, the study analyzed password policies from 22 different United States universities, including their home institution, IU
Next, they extracted sets of emails and passwords from two large data sets that were published online and contained over 1.3 billion email
addresses and password combinations
requiring longer passwords and creating a truly stringent password policy reduced fraud and password reuse by almost 99%
Ultimately, having a stringent password policy is far better than have none at all
