During the pandemic and following a boost in hybrid work and digital communication, our usage of digital spaces has only expanded. It\u2019s time to look at the newest numbers: How many passwords does the average person have in 2024?<\/p><\/div><div class=\"mb-12 mt-6 md:mt-12\"><p class=\"mb-6 text-base text-black font-medium\">Contents<!-- -->:\u00a0<\/p><ul class=\"leading-loose List_list__BljM0 List_noStyle__kj8bR\"><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mt-4\"><a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark text-base font-medium\" href=\"#the-upward-pointing-trend\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">The upward-pointing trend<\/a><br \/><ul class=\"leading-loose mt-4 ml-8 List_list__BljM0 List_noStyle__kj8bR\"><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mt-4 TOC_nestedListItem__mOhUb\"><a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark text-base\" href=\"#first-insights-into-business-password-handling\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">First insights into business password handling<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mt-4\"><a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark text-base font-medium\" href=\"#what-happens-when-you-have-too-many-passwords-to-remember\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">What happens when you have too many passwords to remember?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mt-4\"><a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark text-base font-medium\" href=\"#what-can-you-do-to-handle-passwords-easier\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">What can you do to handle passwords easier?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"PostContent_content__eM_tn text-black break-words\" data-content-type-blog=\"true\"><section class=\"my-3\"><div class=\"Article_wrapper__8_7eU\"><div class=\"richtext\"><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">A survey conducted by NordPass in 2024 revealed a rapid growth in password usage for personal purposes, with an increase of nearly 70% in just over three years. According to the latest data, the number is now 168. For the first time, the survey also recorded the average number of passwords used for business-related accounts: 87. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the research and learn what this increased number of passwords means for our online safety.<\/p><h2 id=\"the-upward-pointing-trend\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">The upward-pointing trend<\/h2><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">NordPass has been tracking password usage statistics since 2020. The first survey was conducted in February of that year, just a month before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was reported that an average user handled around 80 passwords at that time.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">The follow-up survey was conducted in October of the same year. Eight months into the pandemic, the uptick in password handling was already evident. The average number of passwords handled by a person went up 25% to the number cited since \u2013 100.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">As stated by Tomas Smalakys, CTO at NordPass, COVID was perceived as the main cause at the time, as people were staying indoors and handling all processes \u2013 from shopping to medical appointments \u2013 online.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">However, a lot has changed in four years, and the rapid increase in digital accounts we handle now goes beyond the life rhythm of lockdowns. According to Smalakys, \u201cthe amount of accounts that people hold gets higher every year. Multiple factors come into play \u2013 new services get launched, new shops are opened.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">As the scope of digital services increases, so does the number of accounts users handle. Naturally, the latest password statistics reflect this. It\u2019s important to note that the numbers don\u2019t just consider active or frequently used accounts. In fact, many accounts remain dormant as users forget about them and don\u2019t delete them even if the accounts are no longer needed.<\/p><h3 id=\"first-insights-into-business-password-handling\" class=\"nord-text text-h3 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">First insights into business password handling<\/h3><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">For the first time, the 2024 NordPass password survey also researched work-related password usage. It was revealed that the average number of passwords per person in the workplace is 87.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">While this is a new index for the NordPass survey, we can assume that the number of accounts required for work has seen a similar upward trend in recent years as remote and hybrid work opportunities have become increasingly popular.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Adding the number of personal and business passwords together brings the total to 255. Juggling that many passwords can be problematic in terms of both security and convenience.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\"><b>Methodology:<\/b> The new quantitative research by NordPass was conducted on March 4-15, 2024, and surveyed 1,509 NordPass users.<\/p><h2 id=\"what-happens-when-you-have-too-many-passwords-to-remember\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What happens when you have too many passwords to remember?<\/h2><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">The problem with handling so many accounts on average is that they aren\u2019t equally important to a person. In fact, many accounts are abandoned or forgotten after a handful of visits. This can pose a serious security risk, as users may overlook data breaches and not realize their accounts have been compromised.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Managing hundreds of accounts can be a tedious job that not all users are willing or able to do. The trend points toward people hoarding their online accounts and forgetting to review and close accounts they don\u2019t use as frequently or no longer require. In many cases, breaches are overlooked, as the users simply forget they have accounts on breached platforms.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">Another issue concerns the reuse of passwords. With nearly 200 accounts to manage, creating and then remembering a unique password for each one can seem impossible. This leads to people reusing the same or similar passwords for different accounts to simplify logging in. For example, they may reuse the same word or phrase, adding a single number, capital letter, or special symbol if required for security purposes.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">This opens up multiple accounts to vulnerabilities. For example, if one account is breached, all accounts using the same password and owned by that user are at risk. Abandoned accounts on rarely visited platforms with weaker security measures can become the prime target for cybercriminals.<\/p><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">The threat increases if people reuse the same credentials for both personal and work accounts. A breach of a personal account could potentially affect the company\u2019s security as well. According to the 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, <a class=\"nord-link cursor-pointer outline-none transition-colors duration-250 ease-out text-teal hover:text-teal-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/content\/dam\/resources\/reports\/2023\/2023-data-breach-investigations-report-dbir.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link=\"NordUIlink\">stolen credentials were among the top three main methods of accessing an organization<\/a>, followed by phishing and vulnerability exploitation. Password mismanagement and vulnerabilities pose risks ranging from loss of access to financial damages or identity theft.<\/p><h2 id=\"what-can-you-do-to-handle-passwords-easier\" class=\"nord-text text-h2 leading-normal font-medium tracking-tight text-black font-bold\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;\">What can you do to handle passwords easier?<\/h2><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\">You might be thinking about how many accounts you currently have and how many may use insecure passwords. To make your credentials management less overwhelming, here are some best practices you can follow to reduce the number of passwords used in your daily life:<\/p><ul class=\"leading-loose List_list__BljM0\"><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mb-2\"><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\"><b>Deactivate unused accounts<\/b>. Considering how many passwords the average person has, tracking down every unused account you\u2019ve created may be difficult. However, if you know for certain that you no longer need an account, deactivate it to reduce your password load.<\/p><\/li><li class=\"ListItem_item__ZgGQo list-item mb-2\"><p class=\"nord-text text-base leading-normal text-black\"><b>Set up a password manager<\/b>.
