While the majority of professionals surveyed claimed to be confident in their current password management, this doesn’t translate to safer online behavior and can create a detrimental false sense of safety. The findings highlighted a clear disconnect between high confidence when it comes to their password management and their unsafe actions. The survey, which explored the password security behaviors of 3,750 professionals across seven countries, asked about respondents’ mindset and behaviors surrounding their online security. The goal of the LastPass Psychology of Passwords research is to showcase how password management education and use can secure users' online life, transforming unpredictable behavior into real and secure password competence. In addition, LastPass found that while 65% of all respondents have some form of cybersecurity education – through school, work, social media, books or courses via Coursera or edX – the reality is that 62% almost always or mostly use the same or variation of a password. Regardless of generational differences across Boomers, Millennials and Gen Z, the research shows a false sense of password security given current behaviors across the board. ![]() BOSTON-( BUSINESS WIRE)- LastPass today released findings from its fifth annual Psychology of Password findings, which revealed even with cybersecurity education on the rise, password hygiene has not improved.
