Every year a list of the WORST passwords of the year are released and you would think with each year we would avoid these... apparently not. With a new list released, it shows that we are not learning from past mistakes of the worst passwords to use but rather using the same ones.

Look I understand, we all try to have simple and easy passwords in order to remember them for all our accounts and it's definitely not easy when our accounts keep making us change them every 3 months (literally the most annoying thing ever) but I understand why. Nowadays in the digital age it is so easy to get someone's information from their personal devices or accounts and ESPECIALLY when we have really easy passwords. So, here's a tip.... DON'T USE OBVIOUS PASSWORDS.

This may seem easy but if you compare a list of the worst passwords in 2018 to 2019, not much has changed. So Iowans, in 2020 put your digital safety first and avoid this list of the worst passwords on 2019.

1.123456
