Strong password – a key to security

British National Cyber Security Centre has performed an analysis of passwords most commonly set up by internet users.


The research was based on the analysis of millions of passwords hacked worldwide. Usually most commonly used were simple combinations of numbers, with top being 1234, 123456789, qwerty, password, 111111, abc123 and names of pop music bands and sport teams.


ESET security experts warn against the use of weak password and advise to use Have I been Pwned – HIBP. This site allows you to verify if the password has ever been broken. If this happens, it is the best to set a new one and use a password manager.
