Not quite. 84% of respondents admit to reusing passwords across more than one site, and 55% say they rely on memory to manage passwords.

When this happens, people generally resort to less than perfect choices, such as relying on web browsers to capture and store passwords. But is your browser really the right place to store all of that information? Many industry experts [advise against this](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/why-companies-are-looking-beyond-browser-based-password-managers/).
