Examining User Behavior and Cognitive Biases in Personal Password Security
arXiv:2607.19586v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite increasing awareness of cybersecurity risks, users continue to engage in insecure password practices, such as reusing passwords, choosing weak credentials, and neglecting security recommendations. The study explores the behavioral and cognitive factors that influence password decision-making by integrating insights from behavioral economics, particularly hyperbolic discounting, status quo bias, and present bias. We conducted a survey to a
