In 2023, 37 percent of respondents among IT and cybersecurity leaders in the United States mentioned security misconfigurations as one of the main security risks their company would still face after going passwordless. In addition, 36 percent of respondents noted that service accounts connecting databases, applications, platforms, and running processes within their organization would still be vulnerable. Overall, various threats such as phishing attacks, social engineering, biometrics thefts, or man-in-the middle attacks would still be possible even after a company has ceased to use passwords.

If users no longer had to use passwords, what, if any, top security risks do you believe your organization would still face?
