Why Passwords Are the Biggest Risk

Many people use weak or reused passwords. This makes it easy for cybercriminals to hack into accounts, sometimes within seconds.

Did you know?

• 123456 and Welkom01 are still in the top 10 weak passwords.

• Many people use the same password for multiple accounts.

• Hackers use lists of millions of stolen passwords to break in.

Maybe you're thinking: “I don't have anything important online.”
But almost everything revolves around accounts these days: email, banking, DigiD, web shops, cloud storage, photos, social media… Often, personal or financial information is hidden behind these.

A strong password is the first and most important defense for your online safety.
