How often do you change your password?

We've all used a simple password that we wouldn't forget but it seems we might use the hackable passwords.

Nord VPN has released the most used passwords from around the word and Ireland's is kind of embarrassing.

They made a break down of the top 200 passwords used by 50 countries and most of the top passwords could be cracked in less than one second.

Ireland's most used password is '123456' with a total of 66,000 people using it for an account of theirs.

This is followed by 'password', 'liverpool' and '123456789' respectively.

Other mentions in the top ten include 'ireland' and 'qwerty'.

According to Irish Post, swear words are quite often used as passwords.

Research shows that men use swear words as passwords more often than their female counterparts.

Ireland's top ten list aligns with the rest of the world, with combinations of numbers making similar positions in other countries.
