A frequent source of severe design errors can be fast built systems, developed by unskilled people:

-Identification for example by your “mother’s maiden name”, which is easy for the thief to find out from birth or marriage records
-The sheer number of applications for which the average person is asked to use a password exceeds the powers of human memory
-This often results in using the same passwords for different purposes
