It\u2019s your pal, and the text says, \u201cWhat\u2019s the password again?\u201d It might be for a video streaming app, a delivery service, or a music site. But is it really OK to share passwords?<\/p>\n<p>The answer to that question takes a couple of forms.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, that app, service, or site you\u2019re sharing has terms of use. Those terms might allow for sharing. Others might not. From that standpoint, sharing might break those terms.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, sharing passwords with someone outside your household carries security risks. And that\u2019s what we\u2019ll focus on here.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How many people share passwords?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One set of research found that 79% of Americans surveyed said they shared passwords. Video streaming came in at 35%, delivery services at 29%, and music streaming at 9%.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet that same research revealed something else. Only 7% of Americans said they worried about getting hacked despite all that password sharing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What are the risks of sharing passwords?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The broader use a password sees, the more vulnerable it is. And that has a couple of dimensions to it.<\/p>\n<p>The first is the more obvious of the two. Reusing passwords across accounts can lead to identity theft and fraud. Say a hacker gets a hold of a password on the dark web or directly through a data breach. If it\u2019s reused across accounts, all those accounts could get compromised. The same is largely true of passwords that have little variation between them. When not unique, a hacker can figure out the variation with relatively little effort.<\/p>\n<p>The second is a bit more subtle. Sharing passwords with people outside the household means those passwords get used on devices outside of the household. The question then is, are those devices secure? Do the people who own them use online protection software to keep themselves safer online? If not, those passwords could get exposed. One example \u2014 a friend logs into a streaming site on unprotected Wi-Fi. A hacker monitors the traffic, skims the password, and sells it on the dark web.<\/p>\n<p>So, for several reasons, sharing passwords is not OK. And it brings up an important point about passwords in general. We have a lot of them. Yet each one must be secure.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>I have too many passwords! Help!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So, we\u2019ve mentioned some of the security risks around passwords. Primary among them, weak and reused passwords.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no wonder people go the route of easy-to-remember passwords they use again and again. According to Pew Research, American adults feel overwhelmed by the number of passwords they have to keep track of. Depending on the age group, that feeling ranges from 61% to 74%.<a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-198036 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PI_2023.10.18_data-privacy_2-08.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PI_2023.10.18_data-privacy_2-08.webp 840w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PI_2023.10.18_data-privacy_2-08-300x266.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PI_2023.10.18_data-privacy_2-08-768x682.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/PI_2023.10.18_data-privacy_2-08-145x129.webp 145w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That sense of overwhelm takes shape in another interesting way. Increasingly, people are doing something about it. Faced with creating strong and unique passwords, more people let a password manager do the work for them. In 2019, only 20% of Americans surveyed said they used one. In 2023, that number leapt up to 32%.<a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a> A solid 12% rise that now covers nearly a third of all Americans.<\/p>\n<p>So, for anyone bogged down by passwords, a password manager offers an excellent solution.<\/p>\n<p>And a safe one at that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/learn\/password-manager?path=blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A password manager like ours helps you protect your accounts from hackers<\/a> by securely creating and storing strong and unique passwords. The very kind of passwords that hackers hate. While you\u2019re online, it auto-fills your info for faster logins. Best of all, you only have to remember a single password.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The last word on sharing (and re-using) passwords<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>For one, sharing passwords might break the terms of use for the app, service, or site in question. Next, it can bring security issues with it as multiple people use it on multiple devices \u2014 ones that might or might not be secure.<\/p>\n<p>On a related note, re-using passwords across several accounts increases your risk of getting hacked even more. Whether they\u2019re weak and memorable or variations on a common theme, passwords like these make life easier for hackers.<\/p>\n<p>As always, each of your accounts calls for a strong and unique password. And if you\u2019re like the many who have dozens and dozens of accounts, a password manager can make that easy. And highly secure, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thezebra.com\/resources\/home\/dangers-of-sharing-passwords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.thezebra.com\/resources\/home\/dangers-of-sharing-passwords\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\" name=\"_edn2\">[ii]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2023\/10\/18\/how-americans-protect-their-online-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2023\/10\/18\/how-americans-protect-their-online-data\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref3\" name=\"_edn3\">[iii]<\/a> Ibid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A text pops up on your phone.
