Here is the latest list of passwords you should never use [1]

['Allan Rose Hill']

Date: 2024-11-13

Nordpass released its annual list of the "Top 200 Most Common Passwords." For obvious reason, you should never ever use any of these as a password. To create the list, they analyzed massive databases—some acquired form the dark web—of stolen or otherwise exposed passwords.

You can sort their list by country as well for a more localized perspective on bad password choices.

Here are the top 10 globally, all of which take less than one second to crack:

123456 123456789 12345678 password qwerty123 qwerty1 111111 12345 secret 123123

Other favorites include: "iloveyou" and "fuckyou."
