People store almost all personal information on the Internet, but few seriously think about the security of their data. One of the most common mistakes is using unreliable passwords. The developers of the NordPass password manager decided to tell which passwords people use most often.
According to NordPass developers, millions of people still use very dangerous passwords like “123456” or “password” to log in to their accounts.
Such combinations from year to year top all sorts of ratings of the worst passwords, but people are not going to give them up.
The top 20 worst passwords in 2020 according to NordPass are as follows:
- 123456
- 12345678
- picture1
- password
- 12345678
- 111111
- 123123
- 12345
- 1234567890
- Senha
- 1234567
- qwerty
- abc123
- Million2
- 000000
- 1234
- iloveyou
- aaron431
- password1
- qqww1122
Many users simply do not want to memorize complex combinations to secure their personal data. However, all sorts of password managers have long solved this problem: they keep all the combinations, and a person does not need to keep them in mind. In addition, it is strongly recommended to use two-factor authentication where possible.
