Conversely, sites below -35 points are rated as sites with bad password criteria, among which Amazon, Walmart, Victoria's Secret and others are included.

Also, with a 51% EC site including Amazon · Dell · Best Buy etc., you can still log in even if you input the wrong password ten times. Since these sites can change the password many times and try logging in, it means that from a hacker it is easy to hack the user's account.

In addition, 61% of sites do not display advice for creating a strong password, and 93% of sites do not show an indicator to evaluate password strength. And 62% of the surveyed sites have only letters or passwords made with only numbers. It is also possible to use a password of 6 characters or less on 73% of sites.
