Since many people might not know that 2nd may was the World Password Day which is being celebrated worldwide for the sake of awareness among all netizens. The purpose of this day is to remind everyone to always use strong passwords whenever setting up. Acc. to a research, "123456" and "liverpool" are the most commonly used passwords by people which clearly shows that how much we lack online security awareness.

I've didn't even knew this day existed but in 2019 it seems like every day is a celebration for something and I'm not even kidding at all here. I definitely agree that 123456 is one of the most used passwords in the world because everyone uses it at some point in their lives. But I personally never used the password '' liverpool '' and also didn't heard any of my friends using it very often. It might be used a lot but it's definitely not one of the most used passwords.

This is the first time I will ever heard that there is something like this. Anyways, it is a good one for more sensitisation on password usage.

Same opinion, I didn't even heard that there's a celebration about this during May 2.

We are in the internet and everything should be strong as our passwords. If the password is too weak, you are prone to be hacked if someone bruteforcefully opening your account somewhere.

I think I need to change my password...
Then change, you don't have to wait for others opinion and instruct you what you think you have to do.

I'm not aware that we have this so called celebration. Anyways, I'm sure crypto enthusiast is very paranoid about their password and security. But it doesn't mean you have to celebrate this day though.

I guess what the organizers is trying to achieved is sell awareness, specially there are a lot of social media sites out there and everyone should do their due diligence specially our password and how to protect it.

I don't know that there is a world password day. How this was started and when? I think people usually know that we need a strong password in every account that we make and most importantly, we must don't forget our password if we already have multiple accounts, I mean, if you have a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and they have different password, just don't forget one of them especially if we have a crypto wallet. Security is very important.
