People of different ages often show some specific patterns and preferences when choosing passwords. Here are some common password selection patterns, divided by age group: ### Under 18 years old - **Birthday related**: Many young people use their own birthdays (such as YYYYMMDD) or the birthdays of friends and family. - **Simple combination**: Simple and easy-to-remember combinations such as "123456", "password", "abc123". - **Popular culture**: Influenced by popular music, movies, games, etc., use character names, song names, etc. (such as "Harry Potter"). ### 18 to 30 years old - **Creative changes**: Tend to add numbers or symbols to common words (such as "P@ssw0rd"). - **Personalized password**: Use words related to your own interests, and may combine favorite activities or teams (such as "SoccerLover98"). - **Social media influence**: May use social media usernames or related elements as passwords. ### 30 to 50 years old - **Family related**: More inclined to use family members' names, pet names, or combine important family days. - **Professionalism**: Some people may use work-related words or abbreviations, including words related to occupations or industries. - **More security-conscious**: May start using complex password combinations, but may still use personal information. ### Over 50 years old - **Simple and easy to remember**: Relatively prefer simple passwords, and may use short letter combinations or repeated characters. - **Traditional combinations**: May use traditional number combinations, such as "123456" or their address and phone number. - **Related to elderly life**: Use words related to grandchildren, travel, etc. ### In summary, regardless of age, people tend to use passwords that are easy to remember but may not be secure enough. Therefore, when choosing passwords, they should pay more attention to complexity and security, and avoid using personal information. At the same time, raising awareness of the importance of password management and using password management tools to generate and save complex passwords is also an effective practice.
