Washington, Feb 27 (ANI): Over three out of every 10 smartphone owners don't have a password on the device, a report has said.
The worldwide survey by Web security company McAfee showed that 15 percent of people said they save password information on their phones to apps and websites they use.
Around 55 percent, who do have passwords, said they've shared those passwords with others, CNN reports.
According to the report, not having a password could give easy access to users' e-mail, bank account, credit card information and other sensitive info.
The survey showed that overall 36 percent of respondents said they don't have a phone password.
Women are slightly less likely to password-protect their phones. Some 54 percent of those who said they don't were women, the survey added.
Out of all the respondents who said they "hide" passwords to websites and
apps in the Notes app on their phone, 62 percent were men, it added.(ANI)
