If You’re Using One of These Passwords, Your Doors are Wide Open

If You’re Using One of These Passwords, Your Doors are Wide Open

Passwords are the most used account security apparatus. As such, it’s essential that everyone connected to your organization has your overall cybersecurity in mind and knows exactly how to secure the accounts they use. In today’s blog, we’ll look at some common passwords that don’t accomplish their stated purpose very well and how to change that.

Using weak or common passwords can make your accounts highly vulnerable to hacking. Some of the worst passwords include:

  • 123456
  • password
  • 123456789
  • 12345678
  • 12345
  • 1234567
  • qwerty
  • 111111
  • abc123
  • password1

Additionally, using simple variations or predictable patterns such as:

  • letmein
  • iloveyou
  • admin
  • welcome
  • monkey
  • dragon
  • football
  • !@#$%^&*
  • 123123
  • sunshine

These passwords are easily guessable and should be avoided. Instead, opt for a strong password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely and to use built-in encryption to make your passwords even more secure.
