Summary
Americans' overall concern in all aspects of security (National, Financial, Internet and Personal) has decreased sharply, but nearly three-quarters think it is important for presidential candidates to address issues related to cyberattacks and attacks on infrastructure. Also, more than half of Americans prefer to use complex passwords to protect data when working remotely, but many said they would like to use a biometric.
