Are You Using 123456 as Your Password?
Millions of people still use “123456” as their password. The numeric sequence remains the most popular password among a
global analysis of public databases that were from breached accounts. More than 23 million passwords within the breached
accounts used “123456.
The second most common password: 123456789. Rounding out the top five were “qwerty,” “password,” and “111111,”
according to the report by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.
“Cyber security is a serious issue, but there are simple actions everyone can take to better protect against hackers,” says
Margot James, the creative industries minister with the
Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. “Cyber
breaches can cause huge financial and emotional heartache
through theft or loss of data which we should all endeavor to
prevent.”
Reusing passwords on multiple sites should be avoided, says
Ian Levy, NCSC’s technical director. “Nobody should protect
sensitive data with something that can be guessed, like their
first name, local football team, or favorite band,” he says.
“Using hard-to-guess passwords is a strong first step, and we
recommend combining three random but memorable words.
Be creative and use words memorable to you, so people can’t
guess your password.”
