100 Common Passwords for 2017

As the year wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to highlight something important: password security. SplashData recently released a list of the most commonly used passwords in 2017 — and some of them are shockingly easy to guess.

With cybersecurity becoming more critical in 2018, here are a few tips to help keep your accounts safe and used only by you:

  1. Never share your passwords. That means with friends, family, coworkers — anyone.

  2. Enable two-step verification wherever it’s available. It adds an extra layer of protection.

  3. Choose long passwords over overly complex ones. A phrase or sentence is better than “P@ssw0rd!”.

  4. Use different usernames and passwords for each account or system.

  5. Use a secure password manager like LastPass, Dashlane, or 1Password to keep track of everything. (No, a sticky note under your keyboard doesn’t count.)

  6. Don’t change your password unless you need to. Frequent changes often lead people to just add a number or symbol to the same weak password. Not helpful.

Cyber threats are only getting smarter — make sure you are too.
