💨 Abstract

Cybersecurity experts analyzed 19 billion exposed passwords and found that only 6% were unique, making users highly vulnerable to dictionary attacks. Common passwords include simple, predictable default passwords like "Password", names, pop culture names, swear words, and food or location-based passwords. Using the same password across multiple accounts increases vulnerability. Passwords consisting of only lowercase letters and digits are highly vulnerable to brute-force attacks.
