The worst passwords of 2023 are also the most common, “123456” comes in first::undefined
only one – “theworldinyourhand” – is virtually uncrackable. It is the number 173 most common password and would take centuries to guess using brute force.
Not anymore. That would get moved towards the top of the rainbow table now.
48736915208 No son, you’re not watching YouTube.
Handing the security of your accounts to… mobile carriers… always felt iffy to me.
That’s the kind of password an idiot would use on his luggage!
123456, that’s the same password that I have on my luggage! Set a course for druidia and change the password on my luggage
Yes, President Scroob!
Username: admin
Password: admin
Username: guest
Password: guest
I am in! Oh… I do not have any access
Apparently, people creating new accounts seem to assume the word (password) in the box in light gray font is a suggestion rather than a label.
lol
No mention of descending numbers, looks like 654321 is still safe. Not that uh, I, would have any particular worry about that one, nope.
eyes dart back and forth rapidly
Hunter2, still haven’t been hacked (in the past few weeks)
What hasn’t sorry? I can only see *******
That’s amazing, I’ve got the same combination in my username!
Devs out there:
- User: [email protected]
- Pass: Password1!
Mine is 654321
Since it is the opposite sequence, it clearly must be the most secure
Hey, how did you guess the password on my luggage?
I think most of these are for accounts where people don’t care if they are hacked or not.
Regardless, this should not be on the individual. The issue is with the website that allows those types of passwords to begin with. There are sites that don’t allow special characters at all. Stupid.
The most infuriating thing is websites that actually limit secure passwords (e.g. “password must be between 6 and 12 characters”). Preventing longer passwords makes little sense if they’re salting and hashing; and if they’re storing the passwords in plain text (which is just about the only reason to limit the max length to anything less than what a person would reasonably remember), that’s even worse.
There was a belief, before the advent of ubiquitous password managers, that allowing passwords to be “too long” would result in people forgetting their password more often, entering it wrong, or some combination which would increase reset requests and ultimately cause people to use worse passwords. Basically “you can’t remember a 54 character random password, and you’re gonna get pissed and switch to a six character predictable word”.
This is now obviously a terrible line of reasoning, but it was only middling bad at the time.
Oh, i guess that makes some sort of sense - obviously I disagree with the conclusion, but I understand it - but it’s beyond frustrating when you think “maybe I’ll pay this bill online” and see that limit. And even if that is the reasoning for the limit, if they haven’t updated their requirements in all that time, I have little faith that they’re storing my sensitive information securely.
Exactly, I’m not using a real password for a site I don’t care about where I have nothing to protect.
I’m using something simple that I can type with one hand.
Something important however? Good luck figuring that out.
Just like every year…
How tf did these guys get my password?
There was a huge adobe breach a while back and they made it into a crossword. https://zed0.co.uk/crossword/
