    Hackers (1995) taught me the four most commonly used passwords are “love”, “sex”, “'secret”, and “god”.

    “secret” is there. “iloveyou” has love in it.

    I wonder how true that actually was in the 90s.

    according to data from the password security website called NordPass all of which would take a hacker less than a second to crack. Take a look at this quality design to learn about popular passwords that you definitely shouldn’t use such as 123456 which was used 3 million times, 123456789 which was used 1.6 million times, 12345678 which was used 885 thousand times, “password” which was used 692 thousand times and qwerty123 which was used 643 thousand times.

    Is it normal for a password manager to be able to recognize which passwords are being used? Does this reflect badly on NordPass?

      That’s okay at best. Better if a passphrase, just random, impersonal words, something like this (~50 bits of entropy):

      “virtual raging vineyard clad runner”

      Best is a long, completely random string, stored in the password manager that you should be using anyways ~150 bits of entropy):

      “hX0hZ1QTWtQo(h[Ta9jH]TmsVIhUTgSE”

    Strange how much higher the top one, 123456, is than the others, and how the most popular ones with repeating numbers also have 6 digits. Why do people like 6 digits so much more than 5 or 7?

      Because of composition rules. Fewer characters, much easier to brute force guess.

      So when a site tells you ‘Your password must be at least 6 characters long’, and they just want to get past it to get to the content, the number is already on their mind.
