There were more than 2 billion accounts compromised in 2025 and some researchers got their hands on the data and decided to make a list of the most popular passwords.
Or, as I like to call it, 100 passwords you should never, ever, ever use.
And after reading the list reported on by NDTV I'm honestly shocked that more people don't get hacked literally all of the time.
We have often been told to set a password that is hard to guess and tricky to crack. But, as per a study, the most commonly used passwords in 2025 are ‘qwerty', ' 123456', ‘admin', ‘password' and ‘India@123'.
Me breaking into half of the accounts on X using password "India@123":
‘Admin', ‘Aa123456', ‘123', ‘1234567890' and ‘password' lead the list of most commonly used passwords.
‘123456' was used by over 76 lakh [7.6 million] people, the report added. Whereas ‘admin' was the password of more than 19 lakh [1.9 million] people.
Guys.
"admin"?
"password"?
Here's the top 10.
Take a look at the 10 most-used passwords:
