From the Chinese version of the "weak password" list, domestic netizens are more accustomed to setting 6-character passwords, 18 of which are 6-character passwords in TOP25, accounting for 72%.

If the system account or other network account uses the above-mentioned "weak password", it is easy for hackers to use the password dictionary to automatically "fool", resulting in personal privacy information leakage and even property losses.

It is recommended to protect account security from the following four aspects:

First, try to use high-strength passwords in the form of "letters + numbers + special symbols".

Second, online banking, online payment, commonly used mailboxes, chat accounts separately set passwords, do not "use a set of passwords everywhere"

Third, manage passwords at different levels according to the importance of accounts, and change passwords regularly for important accounts.

Fourth, avoid using birthday, name pinyin, mobile phone number and other information related to identity privacy as passwords, because when hackers crack passwords for specific targets, they often test such information first.
