How many passwords does the average person have? In a recent study, it’s revealed that the average person has 100 passwords.1 However, many repeat passwords across multiple accounts, use under 12 characters and don’t include numbers or symbols. This can make your employees and your business easy targets for cyberattacks.
Additionally, many people forget their personal or work passwords resulting in downtime and loss of productivity. This can cost valuable time and resources for your IT teams when helping your employees reset and log in to their devices or accounts. So how do you solve this password problem?
