Valentine’s Day is usually a time for roses and chocolate, but it might also be a good time to change your passwords.

- 51% would switch brands as a result of slow identity verification
- 34% would switch providers completely if they’re unable to log into their account easily
- 45% believe it should take less than 30 seconds to create a new online account
- 64% said that authenticating their identity through their phone is more convenient than using a password
