That’s not necessarily true. According to the Americans and Cybersecurity study by Pew Research Center, 40% of U.S. adults who use the Internet have shared passwords with their friends and family. But when broken down by age group, only 25% of users over the age of 65 had shared their passwords, and 56% of users between ages 18-29 said they had.
