User behaviors analysis in website identification registration
Tong Gan, Fuhong Lin, Changjia Chen, Yuchun Guo, Yi Zheng · China Communications · 2013
Nowadays, an increasing number of web applications require identification registration. However, the behavior of website registration has not ever been thoroughly studied. We use the database provided by the Chinese Software Develop Net (CSDN) to provide a complete perspective on this research point. We concentrate on the following three aspects: complexity, correlation, and preference. From these analyses, we draw the following conclusions: firstly, a considerable number of users have not realized the importance of identification and are using very simple identifications that can be attacked very easily. Secondly, there is a strong complexity correlation among the three parts of identification. Thirdly, the top three passwords that users like are 123456789, 12345678 and 11111111, and the top three email providers that they prefer are NETEASE, qq and sina. Further, we provide some suggestions to improve the quality of user passwords.
