雅思阅读丨数字时代的“密码疲劳”使你困扰吗？

日常生活中我们总避不开各式各样的密码，有统计表示经常使用互联网的用户平均要记住21个账号密码，长沙新航道的小编看到这个数字后粗略的计算了一下自己日常使用的账号密码居然已经接近50个了...本期的雅思阅读，就为大家介绍一个互联网时代常见的心理学问题——密码疲劳。

Password fatigue is the feeling experienced by many people who are required to remember an excessive number of passwords as part of their daily routine, such as to logon to a computer at work, undo a bicycle lock or conduct banking from an automated teller machine (ATM). The concept is also known as password chaos or more broadly as identity chaos.

The increasing prominence of information technology and the Internet in employment, finance, recreation and other aspects of people's lives, and the ensuing introduction of secure transaction technology, has led to people accumulating a proliferation of accounts and passwords.

According to a 2002 survey of British online-security consultant NTA Monitor, the typical intensive computer user has 21 accounts that require a password.

Some factors causing password fatigue are:

unexpected demands that a user create a new password

unexpected demands that a user create a new password that uses particular pattern of letters, digits, and special characters

demand that the user type the new password twice

frequent and unexpected demands for the user to re-enter their password throughout the day as they surf to different parts of an intranet

blind typing, both when responding to a password prompt and when setting a new password.

数字字母混合，数字字母符号混合，数字字母大小写混合，6位8位14位……一遇到输入密码的场合，就感到厌倦和疲劳，这在心理学上称之为“密码疲劳”。

很多人都经历过“密码疲劳”，记住大量的密码已经成为人们日常生活的一部分，比如上班时的电脑登录密码，解车锁密码，ATM机操作密码等等。这还被称为“密码混乱”或者“ID混乱”。

信息科技和互联网在工作、金融、休闲娱乐和生活其他方面越来越重要，随之引入的安全交易技术使人们积攒了大量的账户和密码。

根据英国网络安全咨询公司NTA Monitor2002年的一项调查，经常使用互联网的用户需要记住21个账户和密码。

引发“密码疲劳”的因素有：

要求创建一个新的密码。

要求用户创建新密码时使用特定类型的字母、数字、和特殊符号。

创建密码的时候，要求输入两次。

用户浏览同一网站的不同区域时，经常要求用户重新输入密码。

回应密码提示，以及设定新密码时，看不清自己输入的是什么，需要盲打。
