In 2020, people were caught using the same passwords they’ve used for years. These are passwords that hackers and cybercriminals don’t have to work to get. According to NordPass, a password manager, the worst, most common passwords of 2020 included:
- 12345678
- password
- picture1
- 123456789
- 123456
These are passwords you never want to use. That goes double for any account that contain access to personal or financial information. People rely on simple passwords because they are easy to remember, but if it’s easy to remember, it’s not really a password at all!
