Bitwarden announced the results of its 2023 Password Decisions Survey, which polled 800 IT decision makers across a wide range of industries, showing that passwordless technology is here to stay, with businesses enthusiastic about its perceived security benefits and improved user experience.

In light of these challenges, 79% of IT decision makers want employees to use the same enterprise-wide password manager.

While most use password managers, they also manage passwords with documents on their computer or with their memory.

When asked why their organization has not made the transition to passwordless technology, 39% of respondents claim end users are reluctant to make the switch and 49% say the applications they're using are not designed to go passwordless.

47% say they are very familiar with the FIDO2 passwordless authentication standard and consider it important to their company's passwordless experience.

"Our survey shows businesses are looking beyond passwords and desire new technologies that reflect passwordless workflows, which shouldn't come as a surprise," said Bitwarden CEO Michael Crandell.
