NeophobiA 1,503 Report post Posted January 2, 2020 Here is a list of top 25 worst passwords of 2019 If your password is on the list, the risk of having your account hacked and identity stolen is high. Your password is what keeps cybercriminals away from hacking your email or social media account but if your password is weak and easy to guess things can turn into a disaster really fast. Also, if you are among those who keep the same password on different accounts, researchers at SplashData have compiled a list of easy to guess, most commonly used and worst passwords of 2019. For instance, the number one worst password in 2019 is 123456. What’s noteworthy about this particular password is that it received the same award in 2018. However, in 2019, for the first time since SplashData began evaluating leaked passwords on the web, the word “password” did not rank first or second, dropping to fourth place. Another term that was found widely used by Internet users in 2018 was “Donald,” probably inspired by the president of the United States Donald Trump, which was the 23rd most-used password. However, this time, Donald did not make it to the list. Check out the 2019 most popular password list below, according to SplashData. 1 – 123456 2 – 123456789 3 – qwerty 4 – password 5 – 1234567 6 – 12345678 7 – 12345 8 – iloveyou 9 – 111111 10 – 123123 11 – abc123 12 – qwerty123 13 – 1q2w3e4r 14 – admin 15 – qwertyuiop 16 – 654321 17 – 555555 18 – lovely 19 – 7777777 20 – welcome 21 – 888888 22 – princess 23 – dragon 24 – password1 25 – 123qwe In order to protect your account do not use the same password on other web services and consider downloading a password manager. Another solution is to use a strong password containing numbers, letters with lower and upper case.
