For half a decade, NordPass has delved into the realm of password habits, uncovering familiar tunes that persist.
However, this year’s narrative is layered with intriguing patterns, particularly within distinct platform categories.
Amidst the discourse on passkeys, a question lingers: Is there a superior approach to user authentication? Here’s the compilation of the most common passwords, unraveling trends and pondering the future of passkeys.
The research, conducted in collaboration with cybersecurity experts, dissected a vast 4.3TB database drawn from diverse sources, including the enigmatic dark web.
Emphasizing privacy, no personal data was procured for this study.
Covering up to 35 countries, the study meticulously categorized data into eight platform types, offering statistical insights without compromising user privacy.
Collaborating with third-party researchers, NordPass scrutinized stolen passwords from a 6.6TB database, shedding light on the most popular passwords per platform category.
From the widespread “password” to the seemingly secure “P@ssw0rd,” the findings offer a comprehensive view of user habits across various digital landscapes.
In the upcoming webinar, Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO and Vivek Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface demonstrate how APIs could be hacked. The session will cover: an exploit of OWASP API Top 10 vulnerability, a brute force account take-over (ATO) attack on API, a DDoS attack on an API, how a WAAP could bolster security over an API gateway
As the list unfolds, it’s evident that certain passwords persist as favorites, raising cybersecurity concerns.
Researchers note that while evolving technologies bolster password security, malware attacks remain a significant threat to account integrity.
Statistics reveal alarming facts about password vulnerabilities:
Amid the labyrinth of weak passwords, passkeys emerge as the beacon of hope.
Based on FIDO standards, NordPass champions passkey technology, paving the way for a secure and seamless online experience.
The transition towards passkeys is inevitable, and credential managers play a pivotal role in navigating this evolution.
Executive Director & CMO of FIDO Alliance, Andrew Shikiar, emphasizes the urgency for users to fortify their password hygiene.
Credential managers, like NordPass, not only enhance security but also guide individuals and businesses in embracing passkeys – the future of online protection.
