Since 2013, there is a day that is considered online as Password Day and coincides with the first Thursday of May.
While many people set up hard-to-find passwords and thus protect their online account, others do not think long and put random letters and numbers on the keyboard.
The list of most commonly used codes varies from year to year, but is generally dominated by numbers, such as 123456, or uppercase letters (first letters on the keyboard). Such passwords are also the ones that are stolen the fastest because they are the first to be tried by someone trying to get someone’s account.
The most commonly used passwords are:
