The most hackable password of them all was ' 123456 ', which has been involved in more than 50 million data breaches between 2007 and 2025 .

This was closely followed by ' 123456789 ' and ' 1234 ' which were involved in over 11 million breaches.

'password' was once again found to be among the UK 's most common and hackable passwords.

Experts advise that you use a strong combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

Since this makes it harder to remember all your passwords, it is advised that you use a secure password manager. This keeps all your passwords encrypted in one place so that you only need to remember one very strong password to get into the manager. You should never leave your passwords written down or saved in a document on your computer, since this could easily fall into the wrong hands..
