Cybersecurity firm NordPass has released its annual top200 most common passwordslist.

Experts say you should use the list as a guide to passwords to avoid.

Before 2020, the most common password in the world was ‘12345’.

12345 and 123456 are also on the list.

“These tools render those seemingly advanced tricks useless.

Further, a bad password is one that a user uses across multiple accounts.

For instance, he added that a password like ‘NJvJpCnG96Wz’ is “virtually impossible” to guess.

Unfortunately, it is also “virtually impossible to remember,” Gasti said.

A better approach is to choose a list of random words.

“Add punctuation at the end to increase the complexity of the password.

Something like ‘The full moon comes every 28 days!’

But the best password might be none at all.

“You do not have to remember a 36-random-character password if it is stored within a password manager.”
