NordPass has released its latest annual report, outlining the most commonly used passwords. While "password" has fallen to seventh place, previous top password choices remain popular. Topping the list is "123456," followed by "admin," "12345678," and "123456789." Passwords that include four to ten sequential numbers starting with one are also prevalent. However, the password that stands out from the group is "UNKNOWN", as it would take 17 minutes to crack. Most passwords on the NordPass list can be cracked in under a second.
