The most commonly used password in 2021 (still at the top. )
It doesn't change every year.
A password that increases in proportion to the number of services used. Is it hard for you to manage it, too?
The same is true of the author. I was told that the password I had not entered for a long time was wrong and had been reset dozens of times. I don't know how many times I've done it this year alone.
In that case, what people care about is other people's passwords. What password do you use and how do you manage it?
According to the "most mainstream password 2021" summarized by password management service NordPass and independent researchers, "123456" is the most commonly used password worldwide, according to IFLS. Are you still popular with this password?
The survey, covering 50 countries, surveyed which areas and which passwords were popular in different ways for men and women. As a result, there is an interesting tendency to get inspiration from favorite football teams in several countries. For example, in Britain, "liverpool" is the third most common password, while Chile's geographical football team "colocolo" is fifth.
In addition, many people are inspired by religion. In Nigeria, "christ" is the 19th, and in Saudi Arabia, "bismillah" is the 30th most popular in Arabic.
The survey results show that men and women also have different tendencies. Women like words that make people feel loved, such as "sunshine" and "iloveyou", while men prefer sports-related passwords.
If music is the theme code, "onedirection" and "justinbieber" are popular among women, and "metallica" and "slipknot" are very popular among men.
If it is the password on the list, it is easy to remember and manage, but the risk of hacking is very high. A long time ago, the author's SNS was hijacked, and at that time it was a more complex password. "123456" and so on, if you want to hack, what is the level arrangement that you have to enter first?
By the way, there are a lot of "compromised passwords" warnings on iPhone recently. It is the function carried by iOS14 and iPadOS14. I was startled when I saw this for the first time. Since then, realize that the password array has become complex, or that services that are no longer in use begin to unsubscribe.
In short, before the Chinese New year, let's re-examine it. Ah, and children who use Chromebook in GIGA's vision must also tell them the importance of entering unpredictable passwords.
