Struggling to keep up with endless passwords? You’re not alone. 1 in 4 people feel overwhelmed by password overload—and it’s not just frustrating, it’s a major security risk.

Let’s be honest, most of us aren’t cybersecurity pros. We reuse passwords, pick ones that are easy to guess, and sometimes stick with the classics (looking at you, ‘123456’). In fact, studies show that the average person uses the same password for five different accounts—a hacker’s dream scenario. No wonder 90% of data breaches involve stolen login details.

And the cost? A projected $434 billion (£347 billion) loss to online payment fraud globally between 2024 and 2027. Cybercriminals don’t need our help—but weak passwords make their job far too easy.


Many experts recommend that a good password should be 16 characters minimum (longer is better), contain capitals and special characters, contain random strings as opposed to words and have no similarities with your other passwords.  Being expected to do this for all dozens of different services is virtually impossible!

 

The Simple Fix: A Password Manager


A password manager does the hard work for you—creating strong, unique passwords for every account and storing them securely. No more forgotten logins, no more password resets, and no more security nightmares.


Better yet, password managers make life easier. One-click logins, autofill features, and rock-solid securitymean you can focus on your business instead of remembering which password goes where.  The better ones also include tools such as dark web monitoring, that identifies if your data has been leaked online.
