3/4 of Americans have had to change password due to security breach

In advance of National Data Privacy Day this week (January 28), a new survey by iProov finds that 3/4 of respondents have had to change their password due to a security or data breach. That's up more than 10% over last year.

Additionally, more than two thirds of respondents have had to change their password two or more times due to a data breach.

This is especially relevant now, as the global pandemic has forced people to live and work in a more digital centric world, where password and digital security are more important than they were in years before.

The survey also reveals that:

* 95% of respondents care about their data privacy.

* 2/3 of respondents are annoyed by having to change their password.

* 25% of respondents feel like they have no control over their data privacy.
