How password fatigue can cost organizations time, money and mental energy.

For its study, "Measuring Password Fatigue: Usability and Cybersecurity Impacts," Beyond Identity surveyed 1,047 Americans, including more than 600 full-time employees, to determine how password fatigue is affecting their daily lives.

More than three-quarters of those surveyed said password fatigue impacts their productivity and mental energy.

On average, organizations spent $480 per employee each year on time wasted time due to password issues.

The survey found that individuals with high password fatigue generally rely on numerous methods for storing and managing their passwords, while those with low password fatigue typically use a minimal number of methods.
