NordPass has released its annual list of the most common passwords. The company compiled the list from research on the most common passwords of the year. It was done in partnership with a third-party company specializing in data breach research. They evaluated a database that contained nearly 276 million passwords, of which only about 123 million (44.5%) were unique.
