Worst Passwords Of 2019 Are Out And The #1 Won’t Surprise You by TamaraAbells: 5:58pm On Dec 18, 2019
A group of safety researchers shared NordPass a list of 200 most popular passwords that were leaked inside the data breaches of 2019. The group went through more than 500 million passwords in total to discover passwords that were easiest to compromise.
As researchers expected, users didn’t follow the recommended guidelines while generating their passwords, consequently making it easier with regard to hackers to guess the character types in a few attempts.

Unsurprisingly, researchers assert 12345 to be the most popular password inside the data breaches; more than 2 . eight million people used it. The party ranked 123456 and 123456789 on second and third position correspondingly.

The password password was given the fifth position and as you down the list, you will see passwords like test1 asd, qwerty, iloveyou and so on

The most popular passwords contain all the obvious and easy to guess number combinations, popular female names and just strings of letters, NordPass writes.

People make an easy-to-remember password, for all their records, rather than dealing with the pain of recalling difficult passwords that make them vulnerable to data breaches.

To check if your current password was stolen, you can visit this website that tells whether your email-id was ever part of a data infringement. If you have been making easy security passwords, you will surely find your email NO . in one or two data breaches.

So, what’s the solution? The best solution is to help make difficult passwords and keep a code manager that can store and even auto-fill all the passwords. Alternatively, you can also setup a face recognition or finger mark recognition passwords which are difficult to compromise.
