While the use of the Internet is inevitable, there is a constant emphasis on using secure passwords everywhere. Passwords are required everywhere, from email to shopping sites. Some places require two-factor authentication to set passwords as well, though. Nord Security has released a statement that when used in this way, the word password is the most used password in India.
Millions of Indians are indifferent to the password itself and what it contains, using very easy-to-find words. Recently a list has been released that these are the most used passwords by Indians. The fourth place password is a little shocking. In the report published by Nord Security, the password ‘bigbasket’ is at the 4th position.

- 12345678 – more than 1 lakh

According to Nord Security, it only takes a second to find and hack the first three passwords.
Each site will specify that the password must be a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. Some sites will only accept passwords if they have such a combination. However, some sites allow you to use any word as a password.
This report shows that there is a tendency to use the word password as a password, either lazily or carelessly to set secure passwords. Similarly, more people use numbers as passwords. However, it is a little surprising that the fourth password, the word bigbasket, is the most used password in India.
