Password Trends
The Pew Research Center has recently published a report on How Americans View Data Privacy, based on a survey of 5,101 U.S. adults. Among the findings are the following.
- “…about seven-in-ten Americans (69%) are overwhelmed by the number of passwords they have to keep track of. And nearly half (45%) report feeling anxious about whether their passwords are strong and secure.”
- “…only half of adults say they typically choose passwords that are more secure, even if they are harder to remember. A slightly smaller share opts for passwords that are easier to remember, even if they are less secure.”
- “More Americans are turning to password managers for help. The share who say they use a password manager has risen from 20% in 2019 to 32% today.”

Thank you for sharing. Password managers, like 1Password, indeed play a vital role in keeping everyone safe. We did some of our own research last year to look into how password and login fatigue can lead to security issues and how 1Password can help: 1Password Research Reveals the Risks of Login Fatigue
And our blog also has some great articles that talk about why you need a password manager.
