The study explored frequently forgotten passwords by examining user search behavior. We collected keywords associated with password resetting and determined how often users searched for such information on Google each month. To quantify the popularity of the keywords, we used Ahrefs data. According to Ahrefs, search volume is an average monthly number of searches for a keyword over the last 12 months of data. Then, we ranked the most commonly forgotten passwords based on the number of users and the total volume of searches for each service.
