Here are the top three of the most popular passwords of my fellow countrymen:

hpi.de/pressemitteilungen/2018/die-top-t...her-passwoerter.html

1. 123456
2. 12345
3. 123456789

For comparison, the 2017 hit parade:

1. 123456
2. 123456789
3. 1234

I´m pretty sure, in other countries the results are more or less the same.

What happened to "password" ?
That is my personal favorite (and no, that is not my password for the X# website

)

Hi Robert,

i thought you´re using "XShaRp" ?

- for safety reasons of course case sensitive

I heard at a training session that apparently "spammer" is one that cannot be broken by password hacking software...

How much truth is in it I don't know, but something not too ordinary with a 3 try limit seems so far to work for me...

3 try? Better a (exponentially) increasing waiting time

Karl,
Lock you out after three failed attempts, then an Administrator need to unlock.

The most popular german passwords in 2021 are:

1.  123456                          
2.  passwort                      
3.  12345                             
4.  hallo                             
5.  123456789   
6.  qwertz
7.  schatz
8.  basteln
9.  berlin
10. 12345678

i´m wondering why e.g. "basteln" made it into the top ten. Perhaps, Germans associate trying to fix software issues with the word "basteln" ?

Not mentioned is if the same password is used at all locations where a user logs in - but i´m pretty sure that ...

For comparison the 2020 hit parade:

1	123456	
2	123456789
3	passwort
4	hallo123
5	12345678
6	ichliebedich
7	1234567	
8	1234567890
9	lol123	
10	12345
