Jeffrey Goldberg and Mitchell Cohen, 1Password
Some users appear to resist ceding full control of password generation to strong password generators. A substantial part of that resistance may arise from incorrect beliefs about what makes a password strong, but some resistance appears to also be tied to perceptions of what makes a password compatible with a site. Additionally, some people may simply find the loss of control unpleasant. This industry report does not report on any data collection beyond anecdotes of customer interaction and intuitions of our staff.
