Although Google has been pushing users to switch from passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) to passkeys for quite a while now, its latest scams survey reveals that a vast majority of users still rely on older sign-in methods to log into their online accounts. However, the data collected in partnership with Morning Consult highlights an interesting generational shift in security habits among US users.
According to the survey, most older US users, including Generation X, Baby Boomers, and many Millennials, continue to use passwords and 2FA despite being familiar with newer tools like social sign-ins. Only about 30% of Gen X and Baby Boomers use social sign-ins daily, but things are not the same among the younger demographic.
