Of Passwords and Technology, And About 30 Seconds of Nostalgia

in 2014, I wondered how many passwords does an average person have? Today, I found the answer!

In 2014, I posted this on a Monday. Today, In 2026, I know the answer. According to research, an average person has 120 personal and 67 work passwords to remember. When I read that, I went, “No-No. That is too high”. Then I opened my password app and looked. 216.

And this does not include the sensitive ones. These are mainly SaaS offerings and websites I use. Some apps too. Made me a bit nostalgic for simpler times. And the very next second, I said I wouldn’t trade this crazy tech enabled life for the slower ones from 40 years back.

Do you feel like this too? Overwhelmed by the tech but couldn’t imagine it any other way?
