Americans Keep Passwords on Sticky Notes, Recipe Cards and Slips of Paper
Almost half of U.S. consumers use one to five passwords to access all of their online applications, a survey by The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB), has found, indicating many people use the same password for different accounts.
As for how Americans store the passcodes they need to access a growing number of banking, retail, social media and business applications, it’s much more likely they will use a sticky note than a secured password management app, the study concludes.
