Security habits around the world: A closer look at password statistics

  • 35% of Gen Z respondents revealed they never or rarely update passwords after a data breach at a company with which they have an account
  • Only 10% reported that they always update compromised passwords
  • When prompted to update a login, 38% of Gen Z and 31% of Millennials only change a single character or simply recycle an existing password

Really unideal. I wish GAMMA/FAANG could push for passphrases, or a good password guide gets really widespread.

They’re pushing passkeys right now which completely solve the issue of data breaches at least for passwords.
