Experts named the 25 weakest passwords in Russia

The developers of the NordPass manager have once again summed up the results of the year with a rating of the least secure passwords. To do this, we analyzed more than 4 TB of data from the leaked databases to identify the most frequently used passwords and calculate how long it will take to crack them. The following combinations were found to be the most vulnerable among users from Russia:

1. 123456
2. qwerty
3. 123456789
4. 12345
5. password
6. qwerty123
7. 1q2w3e
8. 12345678
9. 1234567890
10. 1q2w3e4r5t
11. qwertyuiop
12. asdasd
13. qwe123
14. 987654321
15. 654321
16. 555555
17. 1q2w3e4r
18. zxcvbnm
19. 123qwe
20. qazwsx
21. 1qaz2wsx
22. 1234qwer
23. zxcvbn
24. asdfgh
25. qazwsxedc

Unsurprisingly, most combinations take less than a second to crack. But there are a couple of exceptions: for selection asdasd it will take about 17 minutes, zxcvbn - 2 minutes. Combinations qazwsxedc and 1234qwer require only 7 seconds to crack, and 987654321 - and at all 2 seconds.
