The ten most commonly used passwords are invented "in less than a second," according to the cybersecurity center Ziur
The Industrial Cybersecurity Center of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa recommends the use of a password for each important service, as well as the choice of "long but difficult to decipher passwords" or the use of password managers.
I'm sure the Gipuzkoa Provincial Council's Industrial Cybersecurity Center has warned that the ten most commonly used passwords "are invented in less than a second."
On the occasion of World Password Day, Cir's director, Maria Penilla, has stated that "a weak password can open the door to your entire digital life in a few seconds."
According to the latest 2025 reports and forecasts for 2026 of specialized companies such as NordPass and ESET, the ten most dangerous passwords are "admin", "123456", "12345678", "123456789", "12345", "password", "1234567890", "1111", "Contraseña" and "qwerty123".
A password for each service
The director of Segura has called for "improving digital habits" and recalled the need to "use a different password for each important service, especially in critical areas such as email or online banking. "
It also recommends "replacing complex passwords with long passwords, choosing phrases that areeasy to remember but difficult to decipher. "
"The use of password managers is also one of the key practices, "he explains, noting that these tools allow" to store a large number of passwords safely without the need to memorize them all. "" Bitward (free), 1Password (paid) or mobile password manager are some of the most recommended and simple options, "he adds.
It also recommends activating two-step verification (2FA) as "one of the most effective tools to block unauthorized access attempts, even if the password is stolen."
On the other hand, it warns that common errors include "the use of obvious personal data, the selection of common passwords, or the sharing of credentials through unsecure channels." It also explains that "it is not necessary to change passwords continuously for no reason, but when there is a security gap or a sign of commitment."
