Bitwarden, the leading open source password manager for both consumers and business, announced today the results of its second annual global password management survey, in advance of World Password Day on May 5th, 2022. While receptive to the importance of security, individuals continue to struggle with embracing habits that could better protect their data.

While there is awareness of password security best practices, there is still work to be done to put that awareness to full use, a Bitwarden survey reveals.

Type "what's the best way to remember passwords?" into Google, and you'll get shy of 2 billion answers. No wonder 59% of people are doing it wrong.

Most Brits aren’t familiar with password security best practices, the report further claims. More than a third of the respondents use the same passwords for anywhere between five and ten sites, and tend to share their credentials with other people.
