Seven years since our first top 200 common passwords list, we’ve witnessed how credential trends have changed — and what has remained the same. Each year, we rediscover people’s tendency to opt for weak passwords that prioritize convenience over security.

However, this year, we decided to ask ourselves: How do different generations treat their password use? From the silent generation to the “zoomers,” we analyzed which passwords are the most common among different user groups. As it turns out, bad password habits are trendy no matter how old you are.

do they account for the circumstances?

most public wifi login pages get: u: abc@def.com p: qwerty

from me.

I assume those types of services get breached all the time and no one cares. I think they just want plausible deniability on acceptable use of the wifi.
