- interfixus 9y agoMost? Do you really think so? In my experience, the vast majority of everybody is still bumbling ahead with post-it notes and simple, memorised passwords shared all across the board.
- 5706906c06c 9y agoI'm so sorry for you and your job, I guess.
- jjawssd 9y agoWhat is your definition of most? 1%?
- 5706906c06c 9y ago1%? What does that mean?
- raarts 9y agoIsn't that obvious? 1% of all users.
- sndean 9y agoThe first reasonable statistic that I could find was 1%, for the percentage of individuals in a large organization that used password managers [0]. Or maybe it's 8%, in a survey [1]. That 1% figure is pretty old, and people lie in surveys, so it's possibly >1% and <8%. The vast majority of people don't use password managers (or 2FA).
