Baby Boomers beat Gen Z in password hygiene, but both generations still don’t stick to the best practices — and many people are still using decades-old passwords that they made as kids

World Password Day.

• NordPass study claims older generations are more likely to change passwords than younger generations
• But younger users are more in tune with password storage services, preferring to use password managers over memory and writing them down
• All generations are failing to adhere to the best practices when it comes to password hygiene

Many people may believe Gen Z are the best when it comes to adopting new tech, but a new study by NordPass polling 7,861 respondents between the ages of 18-74 suggests that they might be the worst generation for password hygiene.
