Nordpass released its annual list of the "Top 200 Most Common Passwords." For obvious reason, you should never ever use any of these as a password. To create the list, they analyzed massive databases—some acquired form the dark web—of stolen or otherwise exposed passwords.
You can sort their list by country as well for a more localized perspective on bad password choices.
Here are the top 10 globally, all of which take less than one second to crack:
- 123456
- 123456789
- 12345678
- password
- qwerty123
- qwerty1
- 111111
- 12345
- secret
- 123123
Other favorites include: "iloveyou" and "fuckyou."
