How secure are your passwords?

It may be time to update some of your passwords.

NordPass (A Cybersecurity company) has published its list of the top 200 most common passwords.

Turns out the #1 password in Canada and the WORLD this year is “Password”….seriously!

When it comes to the world overall…Here are the top 10 passwords:

  1. password
  2. 123456
  3. 123456789
  4. guest
  5. qwerty
  6. 12345678
  7. 111111
  8. 12345
  9. col123456
  10. 123123

Long story short…it’s time to update your passwords to something a bit more challenging if you are still using a common one. It takes a hacker about a second to crack into your accounts if you have one of the above passwords.
