More than 46% are probably also using the same 2-3 passwords across all accounts and are so pleased that "my password [singular] is impossible to guess" (as someone actually told me).

46% admitted to *ever* using a voice assistant. Just once.
Otherwise, that's a crazy number.

Here's the take-away:
Quote
8% say they use them on a stand-alone device such as an Amazon Echo or Google Home
At first, I felt that was low, but I expect it is correct. So, we're just on the threshold of where Echo and also-ran G Home are going to take us. Wait until the smoke from Christmas 2017 clears and it'll jump to 12%.

Amz programmed in a Hal response to a canned 'open the bay doors' query. Great PR move as I've seen it mentioned many, many times.
