The report stated, Website operators must take more responsibility for password security.

After years of data breaches due to weak passwords, website operators are still not enforcing password best practices.

The bigger responsibility lies with website owners who fail to enforce the most basic password complexity policies.

IT administrators and website operators must do the job for them.
