Internet users now create passwords for website or application login accounts with a high level of difficulty. This is done to avoid hacking by hackers.

However, many internet users still use passwords with a low level of difficulty and are easy to guess. Some internet users don't even use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Citing Schneider Downs, here are the 10 most common passwords in the world in 2021:

1. 123456 - 103 million users
2. 123456789 - 46 million users
3. 12345 - 32 million users
4. qwerty - 22 million users
5. password - 20 million users
6. 12345678 - 14 million users
7. 111111 - 13 million users
8. 123123 - 10 million users
9. 1234567890 - 9.6 million users
10. 1234567 - 9.3 million users

Passwords like "123456" and "123456789" rank first and second as the most common passwords in the world. Internet users should secure their accounts and data by creating strong passwords that are not easily guessed.

The best way currently is to use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. If necessary, add two-factor authentication or a fingerprint sensor.
