How’s Your Hygiene? Poor Password Hygiene Leaves Your Organization Vulnerable to Cybersecurity Attacks.

Where do you save your passwords? Sticky note? Phone? Computer? Or do you create passwords that you can memorize like your partner’s name and birthday, or the name of your company followed by the date you were hired? If you do any of these things, my friend, you have poor password hygiene.

In a survey with 1,000 employees from different backgrounds, it was reported that 57% of survey participants save their passwords on sticky notes. If that wasn’t bad enough, “two-thirds (67%) admit to having lost [said sticky] notes” (Keepersecurity.com).

Here are more alarming numbers: (keepersecurity.com)

  • Nearly half of respondents (49%) save work-related passwords in a document in the cloud.

  • Just over half (51%) say that they currently save these passwords in a document saved on their computer.

  • 55% save work-related passwords on their phone.
