The recent remote work trend caused by the pandemic has increased password security risks of both companies and individuals.

The survey asked respondents about password habits in both their personal and work life.

8% of consumers never change their passwords, and 31% only change their password when they are notified of a security problem.

"We are all aware that many consumers do not take the proper security precautions with their passwords, but the research is still a bit of an eye-opener," said a spokesperson for ScoreSense.

"The current remote work trend has only increased the need for secure password habits for both individuals and businesses."

Overall, consumers are aware of the security concerns, but that has not done much to change their behavior or password habits.
