Download List Of Most Common Passwords

The Worst Passwords List is an annual list of the 25 most common passwords from each year as produced by internet security firm SplashData.[4] Since 2011, the firm has published the list based on data examined from millions of passwords leaked in data breaches, mostly in North America and Western Europe, over each year. In the 2016 edition, the 25 most common passwords made up more than 10% of the surveyed passwords, with the most common password of 2016, "123456", making up 4%.[5]

If your password is on this list of 10,000 most common passwords, you need a new password. A hacker can use or generate files like this, which may readily be compiled from breaches of sites such as Ashley Madison. Usually passwords are not tried one-by-one against a system's secure server online; instead a hacker might manage to gain access to a shadowed password file protected by a one-way encryption algorithm, then test each entry in a file like this to see whether its encrypted form matches what the server has on record. The passwords may then be tried against any account online that can be linked to the first, to test for passwords reused on other sites.

This particular list originates from the OWASP SecLists Project ([1]) and is copied from its content on GitHub ([2]) to link it more conveniently from Wikipedia. The OWASP project publishes its SecList software content as CC-by-SA 3.0; this page takes no position on whether the list data is subject to database copyright or public domain. It represents the top 10,000 passwords from a list of 10 million compiled by Mark Burnett; for other specific attribution see the readme file. The passwords were listed in a numerical order, but the blocks of entries and positions of some simpler entries (e.g. "experienced" at 9975 and "doom" at 9983) hint this may not be a sorted list.

The cybersecurity firm analyzed more than 18 million passwords worldwide, with 9 million being from the general population. The company gauged the most used passwords, most popular password patterns, and specific cultural references. SafetyDetectives found 25 percent of the most common passwords in the U.S. contain "qwerty" as a partial or exact match.

Of the world's 20 most common passwords, 17 can be cracked in less than a second, so think twice before you decide to key in "123456" or the even more creative "password" to secure your online accounts.

The most popular passwords are some of the laziest combinations, even as cybersecurity threats continue to be on the rise with over 53 million U.S. citizens affected in the first half of 2022, according to AAG data.

"Internet users in China often use numbers in their passwords. While '123456' is the most used password in the country, other numerical sequences, such as '111111,' '000000,' and '12345678' are also widely popular," NordPass highlighted.

The most common password in the world this year was the infamously bad "password", and it took hackers under one second to crack it. The same goes for the second and third most common passwords: "123456" and "123456789", respectively.

NordPass compiled its list with the help of independent cybersecurity researchers who analyzed a three terabyte database to produce their findings. The list is full of fascinating (and cautionary) tidbits. For instance, nearly 5 million people around the world used "password" as their password. And of the 20 most common passwords, 18 were guessed in under one second.

I just try to use Django. when i try to create superuser with the createsuperuser and i try to use some common password like abcd1234 (because abc or 123 isn't allowed), it cannot accept it because apparently that my password is too common, i know that the createsuperuser use somekind of password list to match mine with theirs. I want to ask that whether it is possible to change the password list.

You should just be able to change the passwords on the list. One password per line. Passwords should be entirely lowercase as Django automatically translates passwords to lowercase for comparison against the common password list.

I'm working on a project where I need to have a set of password restrictions that includes a file of disallowed passwords (All the common passwords like 'abc','abcdef','12345' 'password' etc.) The file of passwords will consist of around 10000-15000 words.

Nordpass has released their annual Top 200 Most Common Passwords list, which acts as an annual reminder that creating strong passwords is still something that, for whatever reason, many people struggle with. The list provides the most common passwords across 50 countries and includes information about how many times the passwords are used and how long they take to crack.

The most common password from last year, 123456, holds onto the top spot. In fact, in the United States, over one million more users decided this was a good password to use in 2021. The majority of the rest are repeats, although the third most used password of 2020, picture1, has fallen off the list. The top ten most common passwords from the United States and around the globe are below.

Additional common passwords include names, sporting teams (Liverpool is a popular password), automobile brands, swear words and animals. Bands are also popular, with Metallica and Slipknot coming in as the top two most common, and with One Direction making a reappearance after falling off the list last year.

Even with secure password policies in place, end users can make passwords that still include common terms or phrases. One of the growing security measures organizations are utilizing to combat this challenge is called password blacklisting. This tactic restricts the choice of potential passwords, removing common phrases and terms, as well as variations that use special characters and/or numbers, from the list. Senior IT Auditor Sarah Hudak touches on password blacklists in one of our recent videos from our Top Cybersecurity Questions of 2021 video series below.

Security questions commonly used to protect our accounts. However, with our digital footprints and information strewn throughout social media and search engines today, they can be easy targets for threat actors. Think about some of the most common questions asked and where the answers can be found, including:

The table below shows some fairly shocking results of the 25 most commonly used passwords in 2016. This comes from research published by the password management software company Keeper Security, following a review of 10 million passwords that came to light in 2016 via data breaches. Their findings highlighted that that nearly one in six of these passwords was "123456". Read the top 25 below.

Over five million leaked passwords evaluated for the 2018 list were mostly held by users in North America and Western Europe. Passwords leaked from hacks of adult websites were not included in this report.

Edited: Note that I'm only trying to eliminate the most common passwords, not an exhaustive dictionary. And, of course, this complements a reasonably strong password policy (length, use of non-alpha characters, etc.)

If it is a customer requirement to check against a list of known bad passwords then I would probably ask them to supply the list of passwords they think are bad. If they can't supply the list then I would go with the password complexity rules as suggested by others.

The annoying thing is that I can understand and even empathise with where they're coming from. But this requirement will only cause grief and hassle in the long term (I can see, for example, a future requirement for the list of "known common passwords" to be updated on an annual - or even more frequent - basis). Password complexity requirements are known to work in the field, and even the most basic complexity requirement (such as any 3 of uppercase, lowercase, numeric or symbol) will automatically exclude the vast majority of dictionary words.

Another deal breaker is that a lot of people will use things that they are familiar with as a password. A social security number, for example, might meet a complexity requirement (numbers, letters, and a hyphen, perhaps), and would certainly never be in any hypothetical list of "known common passwords", but would also be un-secure in that it's one of the things a potential cracker would try (assuming that they either knew it or had the means to obtain it).

Rather than trying to work with a list of bad passwords you would do better to use whatever method is available on your system to force password complexity, if possible. If you still want lists of bad passwords hunt around for the dictionary lists used by password crackers.

NordPass has just revealed the results of its annual most common passwords research. This year's study looked into password creation trends worldwide and how password usage differs by gender across 30 researched countries. For the first time, NordPass also analyzed how pop culture trends influence password choices.

Differently from previous years, in 2022, NordPass, in collaboration with independent researchers, analyzed how current events and lifestyle trends inspire passwords. The company presents which of the world's beloved movies, sports, food, cars, video games, artists, fashion brands, and even swear words are most reflected in passwords.

Methodology: The list of passwords was compiled in partnership with independent researchers specializing in research of cybersecurity incidents. They evaluated a 3-TB-sized database.Researchers classified the data into various verticals, which allowed them to perform a statistical analysis based on countries and gender. With regard to the gender vertical, the researched data was classified by gender only if it included a gender key. If the breached data didn't contain the data key, it was classified as "unknown."

Yeah I would rather have someone extract from that list the top 10k most common passwords that are 10 chars or more (the minimum allowed Discourse password length). If you would like to submit that as a PR Kane go for it, would be happily accepted. 2351a5e196
