Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find if the password composition of domestic users is affected by the different form of the word 'Password' in the interface of login or password change. In particular, 'Password', foreign notation, and 'Secret Number', notation translated by Korean, have a semantic difference. According to the survey of 200 students in S university, passwords made under the word 'Secret Number' are heavy on numbers than alphabet. Because these passwords make much smaller composition space than another case, they have bad security impact. We expect to make use of this paper as a base line data for study to find how improve domestic user's password security.
