The most used passwords of 2021, have you used one?

In recent years, we have seen hundreds of news about hacking and data theft on social networks, so it would be good for all of us to be a little more careful and try to create a more specific password for our social accounts.

But, unfortunately, recent data show that most people do not.

According to a report published by ' NordPass ', of the 200 most common passwords of 2021, for the second year in a row, "123456" is still the most popular password worldwide, although the hacker would need less than a second to find him. To make matters worse, this is also the most popular password in 43 of the 50 countries analyzed, followed by "123456", "123456789", "12345" (the most popular password in 2019), "qwerty " and simply " password " or " I love you " .

Here are this year’s 10 most popular passwords from around the world.

" Unfortunately, passwords continue to weaken and people still do not show proper care for them," said NordPass CEO Jonas Karklys in a statement.

"It is important to understand that passwords are the gateway to our digital lives and with us spending more and more time online, it is becoming extremely important to take better care of our cyber security," he added.
