Picking out s password for the apps on your phone requires some common sense.
PC Gamer published a list of the 200 most used passwords in an attempt to get you to switch to a harder to penetrate password before it is too late. Whatever you do, don’t change it to ‘123456.’ That happens to be the most popular password for personal and corporate accounts. It is the easiest password for hackers and AI to crack according to NordPass and was the top password used in 2020, 2022, and 2024. NordPass says that it will take less than a second for any hacker to figure out your password if it is ‘123456.’
How lazy must you be to use “123456” as your password!
The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre suggests sticking together three random words and says that this will create a pretty good password.
