This is my research about common use passwords in Malaysia.
This repository contains a curated collection of commonly used passwords in Malaysia, compiled from various research studies and reports. The aim is to provide a resource for security professionals, researchers, and educators to understand password usage patterns in Malaysia and to promote stronger password practices.
Overview
Password security remains a critical concern in Malaysia. Studies have consistently shown that weak and easily guessable passwords are prevalent among Malaysian users. For instance, in 2023, "123456" emerged as the most commonly used password in the country.
Other frequently used passwords include:
- admin
- password
- 12345678
- abcd1234
- 000000
- 23456789

- 12345
The use of such weak passwords significantly increases the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. This repository aims to highlight these vulnerabilities and encourage the adoption of stronger, more secure passwords.
