The worst passwords of 2023 are also the most common, “123456” comes in first::undefined
only one – “theworldinyourhand” – is virtually uncrackable. It is the number 173 most common password and would take centuries to guess using brute force.
Not anymore. That would get moved towards the top of the rainbow table now.
Pass phrases for the passwords you have to type by hand, automatically generated passwords for the things that can autofill from a password manager, MFA for everything that supports it.
Anything less or any password reuse is just asking for trouble.
Yeah, using a pass phrase makes it much easier to remember on top of being more secure. But users should introduce at least a bit more complexity than that example (all lower case letters isn’t great). This1sComplexButMemorable! Is an easy example of how you can just make up a relevant sentence to what you’re using, include a range of character types for complexity and to meet requirements, and you’re good to go. Plus if you make it relevant to what you’re logging into, you’re less likely to be tempted to reuse the pass.
OTOH passphrases are so rarely used that other than a handful of common examples that would already be in a word list such as CorrectHorseBatteryStaple, it would be rather unlikely for anyone to bother even trying unless they are specifically trying to crack a specific password.
So maybe don’t use a plain four word english passphrase as the admin login, but if your facebook password is ZuckerbergSucksFlaccidCock, 'tis probably fine.
That’s the kind of password an idiot would use on his luggage!
123456, that’s the same password that I have on my luggage! Set a course for druidia and change the password on my luggage
They got this data from password leaks. Crappy sites that force you to create an unnecessary account for basic usage are arguebly more often part of password leaks.
So it’s not a surprise that a huge amount of leaked accounts have passwords like 123456, because that’s exactly the right kind of password for a throwaway account that you’ll never need again. In the best case coupled to a trashmail email account.
Username: admin
Password: admin
Apparently, people creating new accounts seem to assume the word (password) in the box in light gray font is a suggestion rather than a label.
lol
