mots de passe faibles
Empêchez votre personnel d’utiliser des <anchor>mots de passe faibles</anchor> tels que « 123456 », « qwerty » et « donald ». Cela peut sembler évident, mais vous serez peut-être surpris par le nombre d’employés qui choisissent des mots de passe incorrects pouvant exposer votre entreprise. Demandez-leur de changer souvent de mot de passe et de les garder en sécurité. Une autre bonne idée pour renforcer votre cybersécurité consiste à appliquer une authentification à deux facteurs.

# The Worst Passwords of 2018

![Cybersecurity passwords](//www.securitymagazine.com/ext/resources/Default-images/Responsive-Defaults/password-900.jpg?1473453203)

December 17, 2018

[print](/articles/print/89694-the-top-100-worst-passwords)

Bad habits die hard, according to SplashData’s eighth [annual list of Worst Passwords of the Year](https://www.teamsid.com/splashdatas-top-100-worst-passwords-of-2018/). After evaluating more than 5 million passwords leaked on the Internet, the company found that computer users continue using the same predictable, easily guessable passwords. Using these passwords will put anyone at substantial risk of being hacked and having their identities stolen.

While terrible passwords such as “123456” and “password” continue in the #1 and #2 spots, respectively, President Trump debuted on this year’s list with “donald&quot; showing up as the 23 rd most frequently used password.

“Sorry, Mr. President, but this is not fake news – using your name or any common name as a password is a dangerous decision,” said Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, Inc. “Hackers have great success using celebrity names, terms from pop culture and sports, and simple keyboard patterns to break into accounts online because they know so many people are using those easy-to- remember combinations.”

Each year, SplashData evaluates millions of leaked passwords to determine which passwords were most used by computer users during that year. Even with the risks well known, many millions of people continue to use weak, easily-guessable passwords to protect their online information. 2018 was the fifth consecutive year that “123456” and “password” retained their top two spots on the list. The next five top passwords on the list are simply numerical strings.

SplashData, provider of password management applications TeamsID, Gpass, and SplashID, releases its annual list in an effort to encourage the adoption of stronger passwords.

“Our hope by publishing this list each year is to convince people to take steps to protect themselves online,” says Slain. “It’s a real head-scratcher that with all the risks known, and with so many highly publicized hacks such as Marriott and the National Republican Congressional Committee, that people continue putting themselves at such risk year-after-year.”
