‘qwerty’, may sound like a cute duck name, but it is by no surprise one of the top passwords people use, being the first 5 letters on the top left of your keyboard.

And in the case of passwords, the “worst” is synonymous with the “top” passwords, as the worst to use would be the most common and easily guessed, but there is more to it.
