Warnings sent to users were then ignored about a quarter of the time (26 per cent); these notifications also resulted in password resets about 26 per cent of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers suggest three potential explanations: that users may not believe the risk is worth the effort of adopting a new password; that users may not be in full control of the account (eg. a shared household account); or that there&#8217;s insufficient guidance about how to reset a password.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2017\/03\/21\/safecracker_shutterstock.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"safecracker\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"Critical bugs found in Chrome, Firefox add-ons\">What should password managers not do?
