Love may be in the air this Valentine’s Day, but a recent study by
Abine shows that Americans are often times more comfortable giving flowers to their significant others than their online passwords. 31% reported they would change their password immediately if their significant other gained access to it while 20 percent have flat out refused to give these credentials to their better half. So much for ‘what’s mine is yours.’
Online passwords: The findings
Online banking and personal email seem to be the most sensitive accounts in this regard, as only 13% of Americans are comfortable giving their significant other their bank account password, and only 14% would consider sharing their email password.
