Passwords are a little obvious

British pop band One Direction, Liverpool and Chelsea football clubs are the easiest people to hack, according to a NordPass report.

Apparently more than 30,388 people use 'onedirection' as their password. NordPass also found out that Liverpool (41,272) and Chelsea (40,499) football clubs have the best supporters. When it comes to superheroes, Batman (37,973) and Superman (56,113) are winning, and the most patriotic people live in Pakistan (41,798).

Security experts advise steering away from any personal preferences when creating a password. Getting personal makes it easier to guess, if they know anything about their targets.

Nevertheless, according to the research done by NordPass, it's clear that people keep making the same mistakes. This research included 200 most common passwords that were leaked in data breaches in 2019. After reviewing this list, we can draw 10 main categories of the most popular passwords:
