Top 200 Most Common Passwords
nordpass.com
For the seventh year in a row, NordPass presents its list of the top 200 most common passwords. Discover how common password trends differ across generations of users.

Seven years since our first top 200 common passwords list, we’ve witnessed how credential trends have changed — and what has remained the same. Each year, we rediscover people’s tendency to opt for weak passwords that prioritize convenience over security.

However, this year, we decided to ask ourselves: How do different generations treat their password use? From the silent generation to the “zoomers,” we analyzed which passwords are the most common among different user groups. As it turns out, bad password habits are trendy no matter how old you are.

    For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn’t even pick up on it.

    I’ve changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we’re all fine now.

    I’m extremely tempted to “hack” the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.
