The Problem With Passwords
If you’ve been paying attention to cybersecurity trends over the last few years, you’ll already know that security problems are frequently found “between chair and keyboard” (often shortened to PEBCAK in IT circles). The dangers of bad password hygiene are better known by “average” users than ever, with 81 percent of company data breaches caused by poor passwords.
At the same time, technology is reaching further into the corners of our lives, both at work and at home. Because password technology puts the onus on individuals to safely and securely manage their own access methods, users are increasingly put in positions where they’re responsible for security problems.
