Many individuals struggle to remember their passwords, often resorting to simple combinations. While this may be convenient, it can lead to significant issues if not updated promptly.
Comparitech has released a list of the most frequently used passwords for 2025. The list was compiled by aggregating over 2 billion actual account passwords that were leaked on data breach forums in 2025.
Passwords like “123456”, “admin”, and “password” remain at the top of the list. Some users clearly do not take password security seriously. For instance, it was reported that the password for the video surveillance system at The Louvre, the renowned museum in Paris that was recently robbed, was simply “Louvre”.
Below, you can find the top 20 most commonly used passwords for 2025.
To enhance your security, it’s advisable to use a longer password. Consider creating a phrase made up of four to six random words, which can be easier to remember.
According to Comparitech, 65.8 percent of the passwords they examined contained fewer than 12 characters, while only 3.2 percent had 16 or more characters.
