Persistent Trends:
Other predictable choices, like "QWERTY," remain firmly in the rankings. Meanwhile, some passwords reflect personal interests, such as "pokemon," "naruto," "samsung," and "minecraft." Though some users attempt to be creative with options like "P@ssw0rd," it offers little real security—hackers can crack it in less than a second.
