These regular stories of 123456 as the most popular password - it doesn't really make any sense to see that as an indication for anything

if people choose safer passwords then jsadkljwqkld won't be the most popular password next year. Because safer passwords means more random and less unique passwords.

if you convince 99,9% of the population to use super-secure passwords - something like 123456 will still be the most popular - within the remaining 0,1%. it won't change the overall top list.

the most popular password is irrelevant. if you can say "xx% use 123456 as their email pw" that might be relevant. but still has a caveat: how do you know if these are real email accounts? (whereever you got the data from in the first place). you don't.

The set of password-protected private keys that I have is probably a pretty good representation of real-world passwords. I think that some conclusions can be drawn from this data. Not only about password popularity, but also the percentage that are cracked w/ trivial techniques.
