Lunchtime Trivia Tuesday, August 2

Q: More than one third of pet owners say they’ve done this at least, once. What is it?

A: They have used their pets’ names as a password.

Aura, the leader in intelligent safety for consumers, today introduced a public safety awareness campaign encouraging families to bolster their online safety habits. Marking the start of National Pet Month and World Password Day on May 5th, Aura released new data that found more than one-third (39%) of American pet parents have used their pet’s name as part of their password for an online account. That stat rises to 1 in 2 (50%) among pet parents between 35-44 years old.

Through the campaign, Aura aimed to highlight to families that while using a pet’s name as a password may be a show of love and an easy-to-remember access code to your online life, pet passwords are some of the easiest for cybercriminals to guess.
