May 2021 by iProov
According to a recent survey conducted by iProov, 75% of respondents have had to change their password due to a security or data breach. That’s up over 10% from last year.
The results also revealed:
• Almost half of respondents (42%) change their password only once a year or less.
• Over half (54%) of Americans have abandoned online purchases due to forgotten passwords. That’s up 10% from last year.
Joe Palmer, President of iProov, notes:
"Passwords are a global problem. All around the world, businesses are losing customers and revenues because people can’t remember their passwords. It’s time that organizations moved to alternatives like face verification. It’s secure, it’s effortless and with iProov it works on mobile devices, computers and kiosks."
iProov is the leading provider of automated authentication technology for Genuine Presence Assurance and is being used by the US Department of Homeland Security, the UK Home Office, GovTech Singapore, the NHS, and more.
