siteadmin November 15, 2023

Despite ongoing warnings about password security, “password”, “123456” and “123456789” remain popular choices, according to a report by password-management firm NordPass. Over 70% of the passwords could be cracked in less than a second. NordPass also found that 31% of the passwords comprised numerical sequences, or contained names, common words, and phrases. Interestingly, users have stronger passwords for financial accounts than for streaming services.
