35 Actionable Password Statistics for Businesses in 2026 | Huntress
Huntress compiles 2026 password statistics showing 94% of 19 billion leaked passwords were reused and 37% of identity threats used stolen credentials.
Huntress published a compilation of password security statistics drawing on sources including Cybernews, Verizon's 2026 DBIR, IBM, and Bitwarden.

The piece argues weak and reused passwords remain a top entry point and recommends improved password hygiene.
