Yubico, the provider of hardware authentication security keys, has released th results of the company’s 2019 State of Password and Authentication Security Behaviours Report, conducted by the Ponemon Institute.

The Ponemon Institute surveyed 1,761 IT and IT security practitioners in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and France, although the results have global implications.

Yubico states that the purpose of this study is to understand the beliefs and behaviours surrounding password management and authentication practices for individuals both in the workplace and at home. It adds that the goal was to understand if these beliefs and behaviours align, and why or why not. The conclusion is that despite the increasing concern regarding privacy and protection online and a greater understanding of the best security practices, individuals and businesses are still falling short.
