HISTORY OF PASSWORD
When companies first started buying computers in the mid-1980s, people quickly realized that they needed to protect the information they entered into their computers. An easy way to secure the information was to have users identify themselves with a user ID when they logged on to the system.
This was a good start, but because it was fairly easy to figure out someone's user ID, people could stop someone from logging in as someone else. Based on this problem, passwords were added to the user ID. With this additional security step, users not only provided their user ID to identify who they were, but they also provided a password that was known only by them, to prove their identity to the system. What did most users do? They did the same thing most people do with access codes such as ATM cards or alarm systems; they picked something that was easy to remember.
PASSWORD MANAGER

The user name and password you use at a particular site can be read by the site's administrator. If this concerns you, you may wish to use a different password at every site with which you register.
