according to data from the password security website called NordPass all of which would take a hacker less than a second to crack. Take a look at this quality design to learn about popular passwords that you definitely shouldn’t use such as 123456 which was used 3 million times, 123456789 which was used 1.6 million times, 12345678 which was used 885 thousand times, “password” which was used 692 thousand times and qwerty123 which was used 643 thousand times.
Is it normal for a password manager to be able to recognize which passwords are being used? Does this reflect badly on NordPass?
The thumbnail shows "assword" so I'll upvote.
What's with dragon and monkey?
Hackers (1995) taught me the four most commonly used passwords are "love", "sex", "'secret", and "god".
"secret" is there. "iloveyou" has love in it.
I wonder how true that actually was in the 90s.
Before password composition rules, those were actually quite common, as well as passwords that were just the same as the username. Heck, it wasn't until that long ago that router manufacturers used to ship with admin/admin as the default credentials.
Honestly every networking company that couldn't be bothered to ship with randomized creds physically embedded/etched somewhere on the device should've probably went out of business. The cost has always been minimal and the increased security value has always been readily apparent.
Yeah, now in this enlightened future, they've ascended to admin/password. 😶
Hack the planet.
At least it isn't always Swordfish!

So i guess p@s5w0RD123pA55wOrD would be super strong.
From my experience brute forcing passwords, no. It’s smart enough to try character substitutions and it annoys me so much that the FBI recommends this practice.
Wait it's not? I remember some people in the industry recommend this sort of password albeit with variation of other random words as it's pretty strong and would take a very long time to crack.
Indeed, just four impersonal words is a great password. Mix up the capitalization and it’s even better.
If it’s a bunch of words found in any dictionary then with or without character substitution it’ll be easy to crack.
I just see *******************
That's okay at best. Better if a passphrase, just random, impersonal words, something like this (~50 bits of entropy):
"virtual raging vineyard clad runner"
Best is a long, completely random string, stored in the password manager that you should be using anyways ~150 bits of entropy):
"hX0hZ1QTWtQo(h[Ta9jH]TmsVIhUTgSE"
I see password and password1
Mfw I’m sittin’ safe all the way down here at password69 😎
I am really surprised some common shit is not there, like hello, hello1234, abcd1234 (and other perms have numbers in front, etc)
Strange how much higher the top one, 123456, is than the others, and how the most popular ones with repeating numbers also have 6 digits. Why do people like 6 digits so much more than 5 or 7?
