Passwords that facilitate intrusion

When we register on a website and, after entering the password, a red or orange button appears on which "Insecure password" is written, we get angry. In reality, what we should do is thank said page for the favor since they warn you that the lock you have placed is easy to open. Even so, we resort to classic passwords, which are keys that open the doors of your virtual homes without any hesitation. 

We prefer to invite strangers to gossip about our privacy rather than open a document and store the different passwords so that they do not fall into oblivion.

The company specialized in security analysis SplashData has published, like every year, the list of passwords most used by users. A list made up of 25 passwords that are:

1. 123456 (In 2013 it also topped the list)

2. password (In 2013 it was also in second place)

3. 12345 (It has risen 17 positions compared to 2013)

4. 12345678 (It has decreased one position compared to 2013)

5, qwerty (It has dropped one position compared to 2013)

6.- 123456789 (In 2013 it also occupied sixth position)

Just a few weeks ago, the computer security company Kaspersky presented a tool that showed how long it would take a hacker to decipher a password and showed how some of those that appear in the Top 25 are discovered in a few seconds.

If among those thousands of records you have a lock that is unlocked with one of these 25 passwords, you still have time to change it.
