People reusing their bank account password could be putting their money at risk.
New research by an internet security firm claims more than 7 in 10 of us are using our online bank passwords for other non financial sites.
This in turn is seriously increasing the risk of an attack on our accounts.
A spokesman said that the findings were 'very surprising' and reveal that consumers are not aware or are choosing to ignore security implications of reusing such important details.
Head of information security at Santander, Michael Paisley, "From the bank's point of view it has become very important we help our customers to protect their identity online".
