Those frequently involve some variation of the number bar, such as \u201c000000&#8243; or \u201c123123,\u201d and typically take less than a second to crack. The most popular among these, \u201c123456,\u201d has been breached more 23 million times alone, according to NordPass. Similarly, any adjacent-key letter jumble you might <em>think<\/em> is adding extra security to your account, such as \u201cqwertyuiop\u201d or \u201casdfghjkl,\u201d can easily be cracked in less than a second\u2019s time, the company said. Below is a sampling of the top 20 worst passwords, but you can see NordPass\u2019s full list <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kVnoAv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/nordpass.com\/most-common-passwords-list\/&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/nordpass.com\/most-common-passwords-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">right here<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<ol data-type=\"List\" data-style=\"Number\" class=\"sc-1lmbno3-1 sizyJ\">\n<li>123456<\/li>\n<li>123456789<\/li>\n<li>picture1<\/li>\n<li>password<\/li>\n<li>12345678<\/li>\n<li>111111<\/li>\n<li>123123<\/li>\n<li>12345<\/li>\n<li>1234567890<\/li>\n<li>senha<\/li>\n<li>1234567<\/li>\n<li>qwerty<\/li>\n<li>abc123<\/li>\n<li>Million2<\/li>\n<li>000000<\/li>\n<li>1234<\/li>\n<li>iloveyou<\/li>\n<li>aaron431<\/li>\n<li>password1<\/li>\n<li>qqww1122<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">This year, \u201cpicture1\u201d ranked third on the list for worst passwords\u2014that\u2019s new, according to the company. NordPass says this word and letter combination will take about three hours to crack, but that still makes it exceptionally weak. Similarly, even a password that added an uppercase letter like \u201cMillion2&#8243; landed in its top 15 category and was exposed more than 162,000 times. The takeaway here is that any password combination that\u2019s easy or memorable likely isn\u2019t strong enough to protect your data, even if you<!-- --> add a number, uppercase letter, or special character.<\/p>\n<div id class=\"bxm4mm-11 gamHXh js_ad-mobile-dynamic js_ad-dynamic ad-mobile-dynamic movable-ad\">\n<div class=\"bxm4mm-12 iqioLK ad-unit ad-mobile\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Data breaches are going to happen no matter what, but making sure that all of your passwords are complex and unique to each of your individual accounts can prevent a bad actor from using one exposed login to access your data elsewhere. Ultimately, the easiest way to do this is to use a password manager, whether that\u2019s through a third-party service like LastPass or 1Password or something like Apple\u2019s <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 kVnoAv js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;Internal link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/apple-may-introduce-1password-like-features-to-keychain-1842622587&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/apple-may-introduce-1password-like-features-to-keychain-1842622587\">iCloud Keychain<\/a><\/span>.
