How many websites have you signed up to in the last twelve months? Have a think about it. Many websites ask you to register with an email address and a password so they can provide you with a user account. If you’ve joined an online forum, signed up to the latest and greatest social media site, bought something online, or signed up to receive special offers, chances are you’ve handed over your email address and a password.

Think about that password. Do you use it across lots of different websites and accounts? Perhaps you use the same email and password combination to access your email? You might also use the same details to login to social media sites, such as Twitter or Facebook?
