NordPass (the purveyor of a password manager) has assembled a list of the top 20 passwords in healthcare, based on usage by the world’s largest companies.  According to NordPass’s analysis, the “top” 20 passwords are:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. 123456
            2. password
            3. part of the company’s name*
            4. 12345
            5. aaron431
            6. part of the company’s name2012*
            7. Part of the company’s name*
            8. PART OF THE COMPANY’S NAME443*
            9. company name2014*
            10. linkedin
            11. pass1
            12. company name*
            13. COMPANY NAME’S ABBREVIATION1*
            14. company name*
            15. 00000
            16. 1111
            17. company name*
            18. 1234
            19. Med
            20. company name*

Obviously, none of these are optimal, particularly in situation where HIPAA Protected Health Information may be involved.

(One of these, Aaron431, is a bit of a mystery.  It may be that it is a default password on a common application.)  The point of noting these passwords is, of course, to prompt you to reviecw/change your passwords.  Or better yet, adopt a password manager, so you can utlize more complete passwords and change the more easily.
