Abstract
Users are often educated to follow different forms of advice from security experts. For example, using a password manager is considered an effective way to maintain a unique and strong password for every important website. However, user surveys reveal that most users are not willing to adopt this tool. They feel uncomfortable or even threatened, when they grant password managers the privilege to automate access to their digital accounts. Likewise, they are worried that individuals close to them may be able to access important websites by using the password manager stealthily.
