Traditionally, the password “123456” took first place, which has been consistently in the leading position for several years.
Also at the top are “123456789”, “password” and “qwerty123”. The list also includes more interesting options that reflect users’ interests, such as “iloveyou”, “pokemon”, “naruto”, “samsung” and “minecraft”.
Some try to increase password strength by using popular combinations like “P@ssw0rd”, but such passwords are still cracked in a few seconds.
Differences in preferences between countries are also interesting: the British usually choose “liverpool”, the Poles “agnieszka” and the Australians “snot”.
NordPass noted that a 2.5TB database was used to compile the list, including data from the darknet.
