Seven years since our first top 200 common passwords list, we’ve witnessed how credential trends have changed — and what has remained the same. Each year, we rediscover people’s tendency to opt for weak passwords that prioritize convenience over security.
However, this year, we decided to ask ourselves: How do different generations treat their password use? From the silent generation to the “zoomers,” we analyzed which passwords are the most common among different user groups. As it turns out, bad password habits are trendy no matter how old you are.
Ah right, that makes sense. I know that site, but didn’t think of. I know not the smartes in the town.^^
I also wonder if people do more secure passwords for important services. Or do they treat it the same? My parents always used their birthday as password, so they do not forget it. Which not much more secure than 1234.
