A major bank with 100,000 tellers studied their employee login times.
Each successful workstation login averaged 5 seconds.
A teller logs onto their computer approx. 70 times each day during a full-time shift.
5s * 60 = 300 seconds * 252 Work Days / 3600 = 24.5 hoursper employee spent logging in each year.
Passwordless can save an average of 24 Hours in productivity per employee per year.

That’s approximately 6,575 hours per day spent on typing passwords — talk about productivity losses!
If we base this off a 252-day work year, and an average teller pay of $18 per hour, it amounts to
nearly $45 million in hourly wages spent on logging in for the entire year.
So, how many times a day do your employees log in?
