Poor password hygiene in the workplace was a threat to organizational cybersecurity even before the COVID-19 pandemic. When COVID-19 forced organizations worldwide to rapidly deploy and secure remote workforces, teams began connecting to organizational resources remotely, in environments that their employers did not control, many times using their own devices.

Keeper wondered how much password security had changed since companies moved to these remote work environments. Were remote employees following simple best practices to secure their passwords, or were they falling prey to “password fatigue” and engaging in bad habits that lead to significant cybersecurity risks?

This is what lead Keeper, in partnership with Pollfish, to conduct the Workplace Password Malpractice Survey where we queried 1,000 full-time workers in the United States about their password habits.
