In India, the most popular word is\" word\"and not\"123456\"as has been extensively suspected. Interestingly, Japan is the only other country that had the same top word as India, new exploration showed on Thursday.

 Other common watchwords people use in India are\"iloveyou\",\"krishna\",\"sairam\"and\"omsairam\", among others.

 According to new exploration by NordPass which is a personal word director, predictable numerical and keyboard sequences are particularly popular in India.

\" Watchwords similar as 12345 and variations of qwerty were ranked grandly over in the lists. Worldwide, these combinations are also relatively popular, as well as localised performances of qwerty (for illustration, aazerty\'in French speaking countries),\"the exploration showed.

 Names and loving words were rather popular in India both among men and women.

Some other common watchwords in India are 123456789, 12345678, india123, qwerty, abc123, xxx, Indya123,1qaz@WSX, 123123, abcd1234 and 1qaz.

 Overall, the Indian word list has analogous trends as numerous countries, but also has its differences.

India is one of only a many countries that has a different number one word--\' word\', whereas 43 out of 50 analysed countries had\'123456\'as the number one word.

\"Qwerty\"and its variations are particularly popular in India.

\"In addition to that, other letter combinations, formed by hitting the keyboard in perpendicular or vertical order are veritably popular,\"the exploration noted.

 Names are also veritably popular among both men and women, for illustration,\"priyanka\",\"sanjay\",\"rakesh\"and others.

 Loving words in English are also relatively common, particularly among women, for illustration\"iloveyou\",\" squeeze\",\"lovely\",\" sun\", and more.

 The exploration also illustrated how weak the top watchwords, are indicating the time it would take the hacker to crack that word.

\" Overall, in India, 62 watchwords out of the 200 can be cracked in lower than a alternate. That is 31 per cent whereas encyclopedically, the chance is84.5 per cent.

\"Unfortunately, the watchwords keep getting weaker and people still do not maintain proper word hygiene,\"says Jonas Karklys, CEO of NordPass.

\"It\'s important to understand that watchwords are the gateway to our digital lives, and with us spending further and further time online, it\'s getting tremendously important to take better care of our cybersecurity,\"Karklys added.

 Still, make sure to change it to a unique and strong word, If you plant your word on the list.

 Immaculately, use a word creator online or in your word director app to produce a truly complex one.

\" Currently, an average person has around 100 accounts, thus, it would be insolvable to remember all the watchwords if they\'re indeed unique and complex. Word directors are a great result for that,\"the exploration noted.

Whether it\'s biometric authentication, phone communication, or a physical key, it\'s always a good idea to add an fresh security subcaste on top of your word, it added.
