17% of Indian citizens save passwords in an insecure manner, shocking truth revealed in survey

The unsuspecting Indian citizen takes a careless attitude towards his financial password. We are not saying so; it has come to light in the survey.

According to the latest report of the news agency PTI, a recent survey revealed that every sixth Indian saves his important financial passwords insecurely.

Results from the survey show that about 17% of people are storing vital passwords to their ATMs, debit/credit cards, bank accounts, and even App Stores in an "unsafe" manner.

Most often, people save passwords for these accounts by adding the same to their contact lists on their mobile phones, and some save such passwords on Notepad on their phones. It is these ways that Indian citizens are saving passwords which increase the risk of data theft.
