Meaning:
This is the literal translation of the English term “password fatigue,” referring to the feeling experienced by many people who are required to remember an excessive number of passwords as part of their daily routine, such as to log on to a computer at work, undo a bicycle lock or conduct banking from an ATM. The increasing prominence of information technology and the Internet in employment, finance, recreation and other aspects of people’s lives, and the ensuing introduction of secure transaction technology, has led to people accumulating a proliferation of accounts and passwords. According to a 2002 survey of British online-security consultant NTA Monitor, the typical intensive computer user has 21 accounts that require a password. That trend is still on the growth as we use social media and other mobile apps a lot more frequently today.
Example:
A: 我准备上亚马逊买一本书,但想不起来登录密码了。
Wǒ zhǔnbèi shàng yàmǎxùn mǎi yīběn shū, dàn xiǎng bù qǐlái dēnglù mìmǎ le。
I want to buy a book at amazon.com, but I cannot remember my login password.
B: 我也常感到密码疲劳,所以用一个笔记本记着我的各种密码。
Wǒ yě cháng gǎndào mìmǎ píláo, suǒyǐ yòng yīgè bǐjìběn jì zhe wǒ de gèzhǒng mìmǎ。
Password fatigue often troubles me too, so I wrote down all my passwords in a notebook.
