NordPass, the company that operates the password management application of the same name she revealed list of the most used passwords in 2024. She analyzed a 2.5TB package of leaked databases that were easily downloaded on the normal and dark web.
Then she just published the list of passwords and the number of occurrences in the 44 countries where the user accounts came from. It also mentions how long it would take to crack the crack using dictionary or brute force attacks, but does not detail what hardware this would correspond to.
NordPass has also compiled a rating for the Czech Republic, where there are eight passwords that are the same as the global one. In fact, these are numerical strings, different variations of qwerty or simply “password”. However, the Czechs also sent “passwords”, names, nicknames or favorite sports clubs. (Although “sparta” could also be candies, cigarettes or a Greek city…)
