Most Common Passwords Of 2022—Make Sure Yours Isn’t On The List

[CNBC] Pass, the password management tool from the team behind NordVPN, released its list of the 200 most common passwords in 2022 — and it turns out people are still using notoriously weak passwords. 

The most common password in the world this year was the infamously bad “password”, and it took hackers under one second to crack it. The same goes for the second and third most common passwords: “123456″ and “123456789”, respectively.

NordPass compiled its list with the help of independent cybersecurity researchers who analyzed a three terabyte database to produce their findings. The list is full of fascinating (and cautionary) tidbits. For instance, nearly 5 million people around the world used “password” as their password. And of the 20 most common passwords, 18 were guessed in under one second.

The most important takeaway, though? If your password is on the list, it’s time to make a change.

To ensure you’re not hacked, here’s NordPass’ 20 most common passwords in the world for this year — and what to do if yours is one of them: [FULLSTORY]
