Abstract :
Creating and using passwords is not as easy as many might think. Using password that is easily guessed by their `secret admirer´ may become a threat to them particularly if it is used for a long time. With that, this `secret admirer´ would be able to phish personal information. This would lead to more serious consequencesAs in Malaysia, CyberSecurity Malaysia educates and shares with the public on how to create a strong password besides some tips on do´s and don´ts about it. This study aims to examine the relationship between Password Created (PC) and Password Habit (PH) across faculties in Puncak Alam and Puncak Perdana Campus of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia. The study found that all items in Password Created (PC) were not significant and only two (2) turned out influencetial in predicting Password Habit (PH) across faculties. This research can be further extended by expanding the items and variables for a more comprehensive study.
