At least<a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/cybersecurity-statistics\"> 80% of all data breaches<\/a> can be attributed to compromised passwords.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Hackers use sophisticated tools and strategies to crack weak passwords. This can include using tranches of encrypted passwords exposed in data breaches, <strong>running common passwords through the same encryption process<\/strong>, and identifying which logins from the data breach match.&nbsp;These <strong>brute-force attacks<\/strong> are able to reveal a shockingly large percentage of passwords.<\/p>\n<p>Having access to your login details can give hackers access to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personal information<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Your email, social media accounts, and other online profiles may contain sensitive data like your address, phone number, and your birthdate. Hackers can use this information for identity theft and phishing attacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial data<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; If hackers gain access to your banking or online shopping accounts, they can drain your funds, make fraudulent purchases in your name, and take out loans and credit cards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online reputation<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Compromised social media and email accounts can be used to spread misinformation, send spam, and damage your relationships.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Digital devices<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; In some cases, hackers can exploit easy-to-guess passwords to gain access to your devices, leading to data loss, malware infections, and even hardware hijacking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond these direct consequences, having your accounts hacked and dealing with the issue can be financially draining, time-consuming, and extremely stressful.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly recommend protecting yourself from these dangers by <strong>prioritizing strong password security<\/strong>.

Let&rsquo;s move on to password security best practices.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how_to_ensure_you_never_get_caught_out_online_with_weak_passwords\">How To Ensure You Never Get Caught Out Online with Weak Passwords<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hackers routinely test lists of the 10,000 most common passwords against database breaches, so it&rsquo;s essential to change your password if it appears on a most common passwords list.<\/p>\n<p>Creating <strong>secure passwords and managing them effectively<\/strong> is essential for your online safety, and good password habits begin with password creation. I&nbsp;recommend following these best practices:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3>Password Checklist<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Length is key<\/strong> &ndash; Aim for a minimum of ten characters, but keep in mind that longer is always better and will make your password far harder to crack than the most common 6-digit passwords.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix it up<\/strong> &ndash; Combine uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, such as @, #, $, and %, to make a more random password. None of the entries on the common password list above use any special characters.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid the obvious<\/strong> &ndash; Never use your name, birthdate, address, pet&rsquo;s name, or other easily obtained personal information.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No dictionary words<\/strong> &ndash; Hackers use software that checks against common dictionary words &ndash; and single words are easy to crack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Uniqueness is essential<\/strong> &ndash; Make sure to use unique, complex passwords for your most important online accounts. Otherwise, one cracked password could unlock all your accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Embrace randomness<\/strong> &ndash; Most good password managers include password generators that can create complex, unique, and truly random passwords. These will be harder to guess and more secure than passwords you make up on your own.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change them regularly<\/strong> &ndash; You should update your passwords every few months, especially for critical logins like your banking and email accounts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t use the same passwords across devices<\/strong> &ndash; Many of the most popular passwords overlap with the&nbsp;most common phone passwords. Don&rsquo;t use simple numerical strings to save remembering another login, as doing so exposes your accounts to serious risks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t share your passwords via non-secure channels<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/the-5-risks-of-sharing-your-password\/2\/34897\">Sharing your passwords<\/a> with others adds significant risks, from potential loss of ownership to unwanted privacy breaches. If you really need to, here&rsquo;s our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/password-manager\/how-to-share-a-password-safely\">how to share a password safely<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here&rsquo;s an example of creating a strong password. Let&rsquo;s use the passphrase, &ldquo;I ate pizza with David in 1990.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Abbreviate<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>&ndash;&nbsp;<\/strong>IapwDi1990<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add symbols<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>&ndash;&nbsp;<\/strong>Iap$$wDi1990!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix case<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>&ndash;&nbsp;<\/strong>IaP$$WdI1990!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This password is long, complex, and unrelated to your personal information.<\/p>\n<p>The tips above will help you create a secure password, but I also recommend taking the following steps to further secure your accounts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong id=\"nordpass\">Use a Password Manager<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; These tools offer a secure vault to store all your passwords while keeping them easily accessible. They can generate strong, unique passwords for each site and autofill them when you log in, and you only need to remember your master password. I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/visit\/nordpass\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NordPass<\/a> as the best provider on the market.<\/li>\n<li><strong id=\"1password\">Consider Using Passphrases<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Instead of a single word, create a memorable phrase or sentence, then turn it into a password. For example, &ldquo;My favorite place to ski is Aviemore!&rdquo; might become &ldquo;MfptsiA!.&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><strong id=\"totalpassword\">Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) &ndash; <\/strong>Whenever possible, enable 2FA or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/13657\/multi-factor-authentication-mfa\">MFA<\/a>. It adds an extra layer of protection, usually requiring you to enter a code sent to your phone or generated by an app and used in conjunction with your password. See our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/password-manager\/how-to-set-up-and-use-google-authenticator\">how to set up and use Google Authenticator<\/a> for more information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"summary_avoiding_the_most_common_passwords_and_weak_security\">Summary &ndash; Avoiding the Most Common Passwords and Weak Security<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Passwords are your first line of defense<\/strong> for your accounts and your data. By understanding the dangers of using weak passwords and implementing good security practices, you can significantly reduce your exposure to cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I strongly recommend using a password manager like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/visit\/nordpass\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NordPass<\/a><\/strong>, regularly updating your passwords, and making sure to take advantage of two-factor authentication. Most importantly, you should protect your online identity and assets by creating strong, unique passwords for all your accounts and storing them securely.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"man_faq_sec\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \"><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">What are the top 10 weakest passwords?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">The 10 weakest passwords are &ldquo;123456,&rdquo; &ldquo;123456789,&rdquo; &ldquo;12345678,&rdquo; &ldquo;password,&rdquo; &ldquo;qwerty123,&rdquo; &ldquo;qwerty1,&rdquo; &ldquo;111111,&rdquo; &ldquo;12345,&rdquo; &ldquo;secret,&rdquo; and &ldquo;123123.&rdquo; They include easily guessable and default passwords and simple numerical strings.
