60% of Internet users rely on a password manager, and that number is still growing by a significant amount each year.

A quick search is indicating more like 30%, which honestly is way higher than I expected. Where are you seeing 60%?

It is ~30% for personal use, and ~60% when you include personal + work. So 30% use it in both contexts, and an additional 30% just for work. A combined 60% use password managers in some capacity in their work or personal lives.
