In response to this, 43% of the respondents admitted to \u201cdangerous online behaviors\u201d, including sharing login details and offloading or abandoning tasks to avoid the relentless task of managing online accounts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stress-in-the-workplace\">Stress in the workplace<\/h2>\n<p>Human-centric security expert Dr. Karen Renaud explains the \u201cfriction for employees\u201d that comes as a result of companies adding \u201cmore rules every time something goes wrong\u201d with their security guidelines is taking a toll on employee wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also reported 41% of workers experience higher stress levels as a result of having to remember multiple logins, while effects are reported to have extended to workers\u2019 pockets, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The figures suggest that 19% of employees were kept from accessing benefits provided by their company, which very often include things like health insurance, cycle to work schemes, and retail discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, 1Password stresses the cybersecurity concerns raised with the mismanagement of login details, with 38% of participants being found to have procrastinated, delegated, or skipped setting up security tools and potentially exposing themselves and their companies to online threats.<\/p>\n<p>1Password CEO Jeff Shiner says that \u201calthough [passwords] were designed to protect us, they are in many cases creating more stress, elevating risk and hurting the bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>While tech giants like Apple and Google are trying to do away with the password for good, using more secure key-based login methods, the effects of these are unlikely to be seen in the workplace for several years. In the meantime, employing a password manager as a company (or asking your company to do so as a worker) is one way of alleviating the stress of having to remember all of those passwords.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/nearly-half-of-employees-admit-to-risky-online-behavior-to-avoid-login-hassles\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study from 1Password has detailed a number of \u201cdangerous\u201d habits that many workers have adopted, putting their companies at risk.
