Picking out s password for the apps on your phone requires some common sense.
In an effort to encourage you to change to a more difficult-to-crack password before it’s too late, PC Gamer released a list of the 200 most popular passwords. No matter what you do, avoid changing it to ‘123456.’ That is also the most often used password for both business and personal accounts. According to NordPass, it is the most straightforward password for hackers and artificial intelligence to decipher, and it was the most used password in 2020, 2022, and 2024. If your password is “123456,” according to NordPass, it will take a hacker less than a second to figure it out.
You must be really lazy to choose “123456” as your password!
According to the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, combining three random phrases will result in a strong password. In order to prevent the password from being cracked, make sure that the three words are truly random. In addition to being simple enough for you to remember, three random phrases should be sufficient to prevent hackers from deciphering your password.

According to the research, there are some password rules that should be avoided and other passwords that aren’t intended for usage. For instance. Making you use a single capital letter at the start of a password or the number 1 at the conclusion of a password may be too evident. Additionally, sometimes it’s simple to figure out what you think is a strong password. For instance, the series of letters “ADGJMPTW” appears arbitrary and difficult to decipher, but it really represents someone entering the numbers 2 through 9 on a smartphone number pad. Clearly, this is not a secure password.
With any luck, you’ll think of a password that will keep anybody from figuring out how to access your account. A little common sense will do the trick. Don’t use the same password across several websites, for instance. You will undoubtedly find it simpler to remember your password, but there’s also a chance that if the code is broken for one app, it will also be cracked for several other apps on your devices.
Additionally, avoid leaving password-related hints on any note-taking programs. If your app’s password is Galaxy, for instance, don’t leave a message that reads, “Samsung phones.” It will be figured out by someone.
