Passwords traded for chocolate

[Nazon]

This one really made me laugh!

Would you swap the password to your computer for a bar of chocolate? More than 70 per cent of people would, a new survey has found.

According to a survey of office workers at Liverpool Street Station in London, 71 per cent were willing to part with their password for a chocolate bar.

So, how many chocolate bars is your password worth?

If it's the password to startup my home PC, and not, for example, for a website, game, or network logon, then I could not care less, and would gladly trade it for a bar of Chocolate. My home PC is not accessible to anyone but me anyway.

I daresay %70 of home PCs are not accessible to anyone who doesn't already have the password for them, so that statistic doesn't surprise me.

Moreover, although I wouldn't do so, since the survey in the article seems to have been anonymous, probably a lot of people would gladly rat out work-related passwords for minimal reward.

I wouldn't... very little to gain besides weight, a lot to lose.

depends on the size of the chocolate bar......but not now, i'm on a diet, catch me in a few weeks when i'm desperate for chocolate, and ask me then!
