How secure is your password? For many, the answer will be not very. Research from NordPass, developed by the team behind one of the best VPNs, NordVPN, has revealed the top 200 most common passwords for the last year, across 44 countries. This is the sixth edition of the research, with this year's instalment being the first to reveal both personal and corporate password data.
Globally, "123456" is the most common, with over 3 million uses. Add "789" onto the end of that and you get the second most common password, used by 1.6 million people. Almost half of the world's most common passwords this year are made of the easiest keyboard combinations of numbers and letters, with "qwerty", and its many variations, occupying top 20 spots.
