Did you know that over 80 percent of company data breaches are caused by poor passwords?

According to a recent study:

• Over 555 million passwords have been stolen by hackers in the last 5 years
• 44% of users reuse their passwords across personal and business-related accounts
• 31% of users have used their child’s name or birthday for their passwords
