  2. Cybersecurity experts always advocate for a strong and unique password, and it is one of their top priority

  3. WHY STRONG/UNIQUE PASSWORD IS IMPORTANT Cybersecurity experts say how every day malicious cyber threat actors hack websites and online accounts, and post lists of usernames, email addresses, and passwords online. It is not only the password or data that is exposed with information that uniquely identifies the user.

  4. After evaluating more than 5 million passwords leaked on the Internet, SplashData’s compiled a list of Worst Passwords of the Year. According to the company they found that users continue using the same predictable, easily guessable passwords. SOME OF THE WORST PASSWORD OF 2018

  5. President Trump debuted on this year’s list with “Donald” showing up as the 23rd most frequently used password. The #1 and #2 spots were “123456” and “password”.

  6. Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, Inc. “Hackers have great success using celebrity names, terms from pop culture and sports, and simple keyboard patterns to break into accounts online because they know so many people are using those easy-to-remember combinations.”

  7. SplashData, the provider of password management applications TeamsID, Gpass, and SplashID, releases its annual list in an effort to encourage the adoption of stronger passwords.

  8. “Our hope by publishing this list each year is to convince people to take steps to protect themselves online,” says Slain. “It’s a real head-scratcher that with all the risks known, and with so many highly publicized hacks such as Marriott and the National Republican Congressional Committee, that people continue putting themselves at such risk year-after-year.”
