Tech News Desk – In olden times, people used to use locks and keys to protect the contents inside the box from others. Now is the digital age and people use passwords instead of locks and keys to keep their details safe. All of you will also have many accounts whose passwords you have created according to your convenience. Be it a bank account, social media account, office login or school digital account, people keep passwords to keep them all safe. Some people keep the password in such a way that it is easy to remember and they do not have trouble logging in. For example, some people set the name of their pet dog as the password, some set the name of their city as the password, some set 1234 or I. love you etc
Today because every person has multiple digital accounts, it is difficult for people to remember more than one password and then they keep the same password for multiple accounts. However, it is not wise to do so as hackers easily crack common passwords and then your money or data can be compromised. Mobile security firm Lookout has recently published a report in which a list of 20 most common passwords has been shared. These passwords were leaked in dark.web. Some of these passwords are such that even today most people keep them for their digital accounts.
