What password do you use on your Mac? «123456» is crowned for the 5th consecutive year as the most used

Free Workshop: Hour of Code

We know that this is common at the end of the year and this year could not be less with the ranking of really unforgivable passwords most used in the world. The truth is that we do not learn despite the sticks that we take every year and this 2018 the password most used by users is the typical «123456» ...

And this password has been the most popular for 5 years! Yes, strange as it may seem, there is the first in the top 10 passwords we should never use not for anything, not for the email account, not for unlocking the Mac, not for the account of our social networks, not for anything.

But this popular password is not alone among the most chorra. Within the top 10 we find other passwords that we should not even think about using at all, this is the top 10:

  1.  123456
  2. Password
  3. 123456789
  4. 12345678
  5. 12345
  6. 111111
  7. 1234567
  8. sunshine
  9. QWERTY
  10. I love you

The company in charge of carrying out this ranking is splashdatas and we can say that these are really absurd passwords. Putting this type of password anywhere is like leaving the account without a password directly, but people continue to use these passwords for many things since "they are easy to remember" and this makesyear after year they rank first on ridiculous password lists.

Again we have no more to say, in this regard we know that the battle is lost with these users but if there is a gap in the front we advise never to put this type of passwords anywhere and less to unlock our Mac, iPhone, iPad or any device.
