World Password Day

Be creative and don’t forget to update all your old passwords today.

We live in a digital world where passwords are the key to our data and identity.

But did you know that the most popular passwords in recent years were "123456", "password" and "qwerty"? No, it's not a joke! Such simple and weak passwords can easily break, which can lead to data theft and privacy violation.

Nord Security, a developer of online security services, has been identifying and publishing the TOP-200 of the most commonly used combinations for many years.

So if you want your data to be protected online, creating a strong password is the first step! 

And most important: do not forget to use:

  • combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols with no direct connection to personal data;
  • different passwords for different online accounts to reduce the risk of one password being compromised.

Be creative and don’t forget to update all your old passwords today.
