Usually when an online user base is hacked and 20,000 accounts with passwords are posted online, it is only bad news. However, due to some keen analysis we are lucky to get a good idea at why so many passwords are vulnerable. In short, people do not pick good passwords. Of the 20,000 passwords, here are some startling statistics:

• 16% of the passwords were someone’s first name
• 3% of the passwords were “123456″
• 4% used some variant of the word password

TeleSign’s two factor solution protects users that even pick poor passwords. If a similar data breach occured, users would be protected by the added layer of authentication. By delivering a one-time PIN code to a users telephone, TeleSign is unbeatable when a password is leaked.
