Abstract

Password managers are a marvellous invention – essentially removing the pain that comes from trying to remember multiple, complex passwords. Yet adoption rates are low, which seems strange because no-one tries to memorise all their contacts' telephone numbers. There are many free password manager apps, so cost is not a deterrent. So, what is going on?
