Of course my results are disputable. Just found it interesting and now also waiting for someone else to confirm this or come out with competing theory or database stats.

Re: [Full-disclosure] Distribution of passwords between man and women
99% confidence interval for men: 1.65 to 1.73% (use lastname as a password, granted) women : 1.36 to 1.52% seems like there is a difference, but not very significant imo :) Anıl Kurmuş --- GPG Key : http://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/~kurmus/key On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 19:02, Tõnu Samuel wrote: > Hi all kind of bad people in this list. > > Want to share weird thing I discovered today: Men have MUCH worse > passwords than females.

[Full-disclosure] Distribution of passwords between man and women
Hi all kind of bad people in this list. Want to share weird thing I discovered today: Men have MUCH worse passwords than females. There is a user database where men to woman ratio is 5.2:1 but men but use last name more often as password. Ratio is 6.2:1. When it somes to bad password like "123456", men used it on 9.3:1 ratio. More details I put on page: http://no.spam.ee/~tonu/passwords.html If you want me run more queries on this DB, mail me in private back and publish them too on same page.
