Consumers Would Rather Get a Root Canal or Watch Paint Dry Than Create Unique Passwords, Onfido Survey Finds
May 6, 2021 GMT
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (BUSINESS WIRE) May 6, 2021
Onfido, the global identity verification and authentication company, today announced the results of a global study that found 17% of consumers would rather watch paint dry than create a unique password for every online account they have. Issued by Censuswide, the study polled more than 4,000 consumers in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany who have online or mobile accounts on their password habits, attitudes and more.
Surprise, surprise, consumers don t like passwords
There will doubtless be a lot of comment surrounding today s World Password Day (watch this space) but to kick off we ll start with a new survey which shows that people aren’t keen on passwords at all.
The study from identity verification and authentication company Onfido reveals a variety of unpleasant activities that people would rather engage in than create a unique password.
According to the study 17 percent of respondents would rather file their taxes, one in 10 people would rather get root canal work or a colonoscopy, and 15 percent of respondents would rather wait in line to update their vehicle registration or driver’s license.

Still, maternal fetal medicine specialist Dr. Darine El-Chaâr said women should consult their doctor on what s best for them, and called for more research on the long-term effects of planned caesareans, including how the health of babies born this way differs from their vaginally born counterparts.
