Passwords: Cybersecurity experts reveal the riskiest words to use


In general, security experts advise opting for as obscure a password as possible to prevent accounts from being hacked. But worryingly, some of the words on Nexor's list – like, 'England Women's National Rugby Union Team' and 'David Attenborough Natural Curiosities' seem fairly elaborate – suggesting the public needs to get even more creative. More and more, websites require new users to create passwords featuring a hard-to-remember combination of letters, numbers and unique characters. Other popular TV shows used as passwords are The Great British Bake Off and David Attenborough Natural Curiosities Sports teams · Team GB · Paralympic GB · England Women's National Football Team · England National Football Team · GB Swimming Team · England National Rugby Union Team · England National Rugby League Team · Great Britain Athletics Team · England National Cricket Team · New Zealand National Rugby Union Team · Harlem Globetrotters · Liverpool F.C. FC Barcelona was one of the riskiest sports teams to use as a password, as well as Liverpool FC.
