Frankly, the most surprising thing about this article is that only 49% of people do this.

Do the other 51% sincerely try to change their passwords? Or maybe they were too scared to report the truth :P

I would guess a lot of them cycle through a short list of easy-to-remember passwords instead.

It might be interesting to see how many actually try to sincerely pick that new, secure, password.
