Also 80% of users still don’t use a password manager, which means they’re probably using Password1! on every site.
That's a random figure to preach, but okay. I refuse to use a password manager and nor is my password "Password1!". Each password is different for each system ranging from 7-9 characters.
Do people really struggle to recall their passwords that they need a password manager?
If you only use 2 or 3 systems, probably not. I recall the passwords for my desktop and work laptop easily, even though I change those every few months.
But if we’re talking about passwords on each apps/website, then yes, yes I do struggle to recall those. Especially websites that don’t require me to log in every day, or websites I don’s use on a daily basis.
Thinking of websites I accessed over the weeked, I have a couple of work accounts, a personal email, 3 social media sites and at least three sites where I buy things. That's 9 passwords for sites I use frequently, and there will be a couple of dozen more sites I don't use frequently. No way I can remember that many passwords.
I can recall each one with no problem, no matter how long it's been. Only one password has a close match to any of the others.
I can easily recall the passwords for these that I used frequently. But not the ones I don't use normally.
