Password stress is stress caused by from mistyping passwords, forgetting passwords, and the stressful process of resetting passwords.

But the amount of stress involved in memorizing and typing these long passwords on a daily basis takes a strong toll on the users. Password stress is a growing issue that affects productivity. As passwords only gorw in number and complexity, the need for better password management is crucial for organziations.
