Most common pass fails

November 18, 2025

Most common pass fails: The top 10 most commonly used passwords floating around the internet include “admin,” “password” and the entire lineup of 12345, 123456, 12345678 and yes, 12345678910. “Gmail.12345” made the top 10, too. Number 12 on the list is a combination of the f-bomb with the word “slut.” Who would type that in all the time? If any of these look familiar, get a password manager. The one I use is only $0.95 per month with this Black Friday deal.
