chocolate Vs Security

[cokephreak]

I was a little interested in this : Women Love Chocolate more than Password Security

OK, the sample was small, but it does mirror lots of similer studies into the same thing. Can ANY-ONE think of ANY reason why so many more women would hand out their passwords than men (Any-one pointing at the chocolate gets a slap)?
it was 10% men to 45% women -

What? I never give out passwords or PINs, to anyone. They made me tell them my password for the work PC when I was off sick, but I felt terrible about having to give it out. Luckily, I've changed it twice since then...

Curiously, I don't mind finding out bosses' passwords to do stuff on their PCs (these are all men, btw, and it's a common feature of manager/PA work).

Maybe you'd have given out yourpassword more easily if they'd offered you some chocolate
;)

And poo password security does seem to be a feature of directors generally. Ours hand their's out all the time.I find this very worrying.

BTW : for work you can always say you don't want to give out your password, they can get the IT bods to reset it.
