In February 2021, Keeper surveyed 1,000 employees in the U.S. about their work-related password habits - and discovered that a lot of remote workers are letting password security go by the wayside.
Here are 5 critical password security rules they're ignoring.
Shared passwords in the workplace can be done safely if employees share passwords using a secure method, and the passwords are shared only with authorized parties.
Keeper's enterprise-grade password security and encryption platforms help organizations prevent password malpractice - and password-related cyberattacks - by giving IT administrators complete visibility into employee password practices, as well as the ability to enforce password security rules company-wide.
Using the Keeper admin dashboard, security personnel can easily configure password security rules, such as length, complexity, and sharing capabilities.
Password security is the foundation of cybersecurity, and it's especially important in a remote work world.
