Our research of 3,750 professionals' password security behaviors found a clear disconnect between confidence in password management habits and their conduct. What else did we find?
75% of respondents have high confidence in managing passwords yet nearly two-thirds reuse the same password or a variation.
How else are they behaving when it comes to passwords?
Nearly 65% of respondents have some type of cybersecurity education. But putting their education to practice is a different story. After receiving cybersecurity education, only 31% of users stopped reusing passwords, while only 25% started using a password manager.
Why aren't they putting their education to use?
Gen Z leads the pack when it comes to cybersecurity confidence. However, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers fall into second, third, and fourth place, respectively.
But how do their password behaviors compare?
