Global consultancy Deloitte claimed that over 90 percent of user-generated passwords, even those considered strong by IT departments, will be vulnerable to hacking in 2013.

Jolyon Barker, global lead for Deloitte’s technology, media and telecommunications industry, said “Whilst moving to stronger, longer passwords means greater levels of security, people understandably find these harder to remember.”
