People are unteachable. That's exactly how, with a bit of exaggeration, a survey by NordVPN could be briefly described, which has been analyzing stolen passwords year after year for six long years to find out what the worst ones are. And this year also shows that people are really unteachable, because they constantly use the same "years old" passwords, which hackers can detect without any problem. 

Pro This year, NordVPN reportedly used 2,5TB of stolen login data from 44 countries to analyze it. The company then pulled it from various hacker forums and the dark web, where similar things are abundant. The analysis showed that the most commonly used and easiest to steal and crack password is 123456, followed by 123456789 and 12345678. There is also the classic “password”word". If you are interested in the Czech Republic, the fifth worst place was taken by "heslo", followed by "martin" and "qwerty1. The list also includes "maminka", "slunicko", "milacek" and so on. In short, an annual classic. After all, you can take a look at the lists of the worst passwords of individual countries yourself here.
