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.



There was a post on here a while ago about the most popular four digit PIN numbers. I think the top five were
1234
7890
1212
1111
And 1701
We’re are all so original
Kinda hard to be original with four digit PINs. Of course there’s some worse choices than others, but 9999 possible combinations really limit creativity.
