It's World Password Day
Passwords are in the spotlight today and it's an important reminder to reconsider our online security routine. Our recent research project, The Psychology of Passwords, shows a startling reality of unsafe online practices. Here's a little preview of the habits that make hackers very happy:
59% mostly or always use the same password
53% have not changed passwords in the last year
64% want to easily remember their passwords
From this, we've learned that consumers are using the same easy-to-remember password for multiple accounts (despite the increase in cybersecurity threats and breaches).
Don't let yourself be one of these stats - participate in World Password Day! Refresh your passwords today and secure your digital life.
