It’s ridiculous how many people choose the password 696969. Who was the first to speculate that this number would be one that no one else could possibly guess? Even though it may come across as juvenile, it is actually utilized all over the world.
5. DEFAULT
I’m going to count to ten, and until then, I want all of you who thought that “DEFAULT” was a great idea for a password to change it as soon as possible. Why? The pertinent question might be, “Why not?” Besides being so common (yes, more than 35% of the population is using this word as their main password, even for banking accounts), it’s also not safe to use.

You’re not that sure how to set a strong password for your account? Keep reading because in the next pages we will give you some cues on how to create a password that nobody will ever guess.
