Despite the fact that each person can come up with a unique password (it is often called a PIN code), many limit themselves to installing those that are known to the whole world. Computer security experts have determined that the most popular pin-code for Wi-Fi in the world is the group of numbers 123456. It is worth noting that it is often used to sign in to a social network account, email, and even e-wallets. According to available statistics, 32% of all users use a protective combination of characters, which consists of about 6 digits. While 48% of respondents use a banal combination of letters (slang and dictionary words).

The access key must be both complex and easy to remember.

The most popular word forms and combinations of numbers in the CIS countries

It is worth noting that popular PIN codes in one region may be little known in another. As for the CIS countries, the most common passwords are the following words and combinations of characters: qwerty; bog; 123456; password1 and others.

In addition, regardless of the region of residence, a large number of users use different dates as a pin code, for example, 2000 or 25081998. Often they are associated with the year of graduation, admission to the university, birth of a child, etc.

If you want to protect yourself from unauthorized connection to your Wi-Fi as much as possible, the safest passwords are those that consist of at least 20 characters. Note that the pincode is not just desirable, but it is extremely necessary to use not only numbers, but also upper and lower case characters. Remember that an unprotected network is a direct path not only to stealing your personal information, but also to its complete destruction by intruders.
