文章1

Logging into your email account can sometimes feel like trying to hack into the Pentagon.

登录你的电子邮件账户有时感觉就像是试图黑客攻击五角大楼。

If you follow all of the guidelines, you need to use a different password for every one of your accounts, use an incomprehensible variety of letters, numbers, and symbols, sign up for two step verification, and change every password every time one of them is compromised.

如果你遵循所有的指导方针，你需要为你的每一个账户使用不同的密码，使用难以理解的字母、数字和符号的组合，注册双重验证，并且每次其中一个密码被泄露时都要更改每一个密码。

More often than not, you then have to choose photos that include a street sign, as this apparently provides solid evidence to your computer that you are, in fact, a human being.

通常情况下，你不得不选择包含路标的照片，因为这显然为你的电脑提供了有力的证据，证明你实际上是一个人类。

It's no small wonder most of us forget our passwords more often than our keys.

我们大多数人比忘记钥匙更频繁地忘记密码，这并不奇怪。

Now, a new peer reviewed study by researchers at Aalto University in Finland is attempting to figure out why we forget our passwords in order to help put an end to this frustrating phenomenon.

现在，芬兰阿尔托大学的研究人员正在尝试弄清楚我们为什么会忘记密码，以便帮助结束这一令人沮丧的现象。

Their findings suggest that how likely you are to remember your password has less to do with the intricacy of the password itself and more to do with how often you anticipate using it,

他们的发现表明，你记住密码的可能性与密码本身的复杂性关系不大，更多地与你预期使用它的频率有关。

which is to say, you are far more likely to remember a complicated password if you know you'll frequently be using it to log into an account than you are to remember a simple password for an account that you don't expect to log into very often.

也就是说，如果你知道自己会频繁地使用一个复杂的密码来登录账户，那么你记住这个复杂密码的可能性会远远大于你记住一个简单密码的可能性，因为你并不期待经常登录那个账户。

The researchers advise websites to include more of an incentive for users to log in more often in order to help them remember their secret codes.
