As we can see the champion of the list again is the password 123456. This certainly reveals that unfortunately many users still do not care about their passwords.
Perhaps because of difficulty remembering them or simply thinking that they will never be targeted.
However it is always necessary to use strong passwords and if possible use a password manager to store them.
And if you still use any of these passwords it might be a good time to change.
