Comparitech researchers have published a new study, finding that the 100 most common passwords in 2025 are ‘123456’, ‘admin’, and ‘password’.
For this analysis, Comparitech researchers aggregated more than 2 billion real account passwords leaked on data breach forums in 2025. Using that data, they amassed a list of the most-used passwords — including a couple interesting ones!
While this is a fun list to read through, these findings show exactly why password security really matters. Modern password cracking programs make short work of weak passwords, and common passwords like in this list are easily guessed. By using these passwords, people are putting themselves and their organizations at an extremely high risk.
