In 2019, there were over 150,000 security incidents and nearly 4,000 confirmed data breaches. In 2020 alone, more than 15 billion stolen credentials were up for sale on the dark web. In 2018, weak or stolen passwords were tied to over 80% of security breaches. Other authentication methods have been created and are in use right now.
