Experts discovered the top 10 overused passwords in the US that could put you at risk of being easily hacked.
NordPass and NordSteller recently released its sixth annual analysis of personal password habits.
Based on NordPass and NordStellar’s data they crunched, ‘secret’ was the most common password in the US.
The management platforms found that the password was used 328,831 times, and it would take less than one second for someone to crack it.
‘Secret’ is also ranked in the top 10 most common passwords in the world.
Andrew Shikiar, executive director of FIDO Alliance, mentioned hackers could guess the password if it’s even spelled using numbers or with other substitutions while speaking with CNBC.
‘For example, they might believe that “secret” is a weak password but “s3cr3t” will be hard to guess,’ Shikiar said in 2019.
