The 25 most commonly used passwords in 2015 have been put together in the annual ‘Worst Passwords’ list.

It is compiled from 3.3 million leaked passwords during the year by web security firm Splashdata.

And for the fifth year in a row, ‘123456’ is the most used password, which is not only extremely unoriginal but goes to show that digital data protection, from personal emails to bank details, is not up to the standard it should be.

Among boring combinations of letters and numbers, and obvious keyboard layouts such as ‘qwerty’, words such as ‘baseball’ and ‘football’ have made the list yet again.

‘Starwars’ came in as the 25th most commonly used password following the hype surrounding the latest film release in December 2015.

Being the most commonly used passwords makes them the weakest, therefore the worst, beacause they’re too easy for others to guess and hackers to abuse.

If your password is on the list, we suggest swiftly changing it and trying to be a little more imaginative next time.
