Recently, caught up in the Black Friday frenzy, I decided to treat myself to some new fishing gear. Not the best timing, but who can resist the pull of a good hobby? I filled up his cart, but the discount required him to log in... and, unfortunately, I couldn’t remember his password. Password recovery? Not working too well. Turns out the emails were landing in spam. It was late, so he just abandoned his cart.
My experience isn’t unique. To understand the broader impact, I took a deep dive into global statistics to see how often shoppers abandon their carts due to password issues—and how much it’s truly costing businesses.
