Most Breached Passwords Revealed: '123456' and 'India@123' Top Hacker Choices

Imagine you have a secret diary, and you want to keep your secrets safe.

You choose a password to lock your diary.

Some people choose very easy passwords, like '123456' or their pet's name.

A report looked at billions of locked accounts and found that many people used these super easy passwords.

The most common one was '123456', used by millions of people!

This is bad because sneaky people called hackers can easily guess these passwords and get into your accounts, like stealing your diary's secrets.

Even a museum with important art had a weak password.

Experts say it's better to make a password that is long, uses different kinds of letters, numbers, and symbols.

It's also good to have an extra step, like a code sent to your phone, to keep your accounts even safer.
