There are two types of people. The first are those who do not invent any complexities when creating a password, and their password is thus very simple. These people rely on no one hacking into their account because "why would anyone?". The second group includes those who think about their passwords and come up with them in such a way that they are at least a little complex, complicated or really unpredictable. The American company SplashData, which deals with the security of various user accounts, published its traditional report containing the worst passwords that users used over the past year.
The source for this analysis was data from around five million leaked accounts that became public in 2017. Despite the fact that there have been more and more attacks on user accounts in recent years, people still widely use passwords that can crack even the less sophisticated systems in minutes. In the table below, you can see the fifteen most popular and worst passwords that users use on their accounts.
By far the most popular is the number series 123456, followed by "password". These two passwords have appeared on the first two ranks for several years in a row. In the background, there are other numerical mutations differing only in the number of necessary characters (basically, rows 1-9), keyboard rows such as "qwertz/qwerty" or passwords like "letmein", "football", "iloveyou", "admin" or "login".
The above examples are exactly the passwords that are most susceptible to being exposed. Simple words or numerical sequences do not pose too much of a problem to password cracking tools. Therefore, it is usually recommended to use passwords that combine both letters and numbers together with a combination of upper and lower case letters. Specific characters are mostly prohibited, but the above combination should be a strong enough password. As is often said, the presence of one or two numbers in a password significantly reduces its chances of detection. So if you combine numbers and letters enough and unpredictably, the password should be strong enough. Then it is enough not to have it stored in a place from which it can be easily retrieved...

I used to use 123456 for my ep ID, it was great, but then they forced me to change it. I'm using Josef123Josef and it's OK
:D it was fun
Now seriously, how many morons have found and tried that password?? :D :D :D :D
but it smells like it works
most importantly, don't tell anyone :)))
Well, for example something like this: "Iq12Hg48kDf9mpz5ccR" sounds extremely sophisticated, but then I won't get into the computer/program after about 17 attempts, they'll forget about it, not to mention remember it at all. Although the fact is that none of the 15 I don't have one, luckily, and with the password he would probably be a little late (Combination of upper and lower case letters - But putting such madness in there, I don't know - I can work with millions in euros, or with other people's property, but for the security of e.g. computers, e-mails and some serepeti?)
Write such a password on a piece of paper and put it under the keyboard. No one will find him there. :-)
Oh no, I might forget where I put it :-D I would stick it on the monitor. Nice to the upper right corner. Don't forget that it's darkest under the sun :-D :-D
enter the password "the dog jumped over the oats 3" and you're better off in terms of entropy than with that unmemorable password ;-)
Damn, why are you revealing my password :-)
Hello, there is a relatively simple system that everyone can remember and it is a relatively strong password: take a memorable word (ideally with at least one digit), put a capital letter at the beginning, omit vowels in the word and you have a solid password
instead of e you can use 3, s -5, a-4, o – 0, a- @, s- & , there are simply no limits to imagination
For example, the helsa "hello, good day" could be entered as @hojD0bryD3n
an ideal password that is easy to remember and difficult to crack is your name in combination with the year of birth, for example Martin who was born on 3.12.1985/3/1 would have the password M2a1R9t85IXNUMXnXNUMX with the number of the date of birth after each letter of the name and the name being written alternately in lower case and a capital letter….easy to remember and a good combination…..
And now everyone is looking for when Ms. Michaela was born so they can get into her account :-D
This already sounds like schizophrenia to me... a combination of lowercase+uppercase letters (uppercases are fine anywhere, even in the middle of a word) + numbers and there can't be too much of a chance to break through.
Easy to remember??
..very funny how most people think that they have won when they put in a complicated password. But I won't go into detail, because I would probably cause Mrs. Baranová to have permanent nightmares...
It's good to use a password that you can easily remember - I know what I'm talking about :-D I just can't get into some of my accounts xD - it's ideal to use phrases like DobrýVečer33, the phrase is easy to remember... ;-)
Don't forget it's like a front door. Someone might want to break into those, but you can also just lose the keys. If you have an armored door, it's good if it deters burglars. Of course, if you lose the keys, the door is armored, the lock cannot be removed because it is hardened, and you stand outside the door alone and all the tools are inside, behind the armored barrier. And at that moment you are totally in pr…………..
It's good to have a strong password for your bank account, but what good is an indecipherable password for an online pharmacy or a discussion on iDnes or Seznam? Looking at passwords like a1x2v7vz4 might be good for a bank account, but otherwise it's bullshit.
how about the name of a book you like?
