 Sunday, April 21, 2019 in Security  No Comments |  | The most common fictional names used as passwords were "superman" (333,139 users), "naruto" (242,749), "tigger" (237,290), "pokemon" (226,947), and "batman" (203,116).
The organization recommends instead choosing three random words as a password—and also checking "password blacklists" that show passwords that have already been found in past data breaches. (Developers and sysadmins are also advised to implement these checks as part of their rules for which user passwords will be allowed.) The organization also released a file from the "Have I Been Pwned" site containing the top 100,000 passwords.
So what are the top ten most-frequently used passwords?
