Research, especially in the early 21st century, has shown that education is needed to change
people’s behaviour regarding password generation, management and storage. As our daily
routines and duties have become more dependent on electronic services in the last decade, one
could think that qualitative education is nowadays given to users. To verify this assumption
we conducted a nation-wide, demographic survey in Norway with a sample of 1003
respondents at the age of 18 to 64. The results show that the education or proper guidance
seldom is given leading to the outdated users’ behavior.
