While there's no way to guarantee you correctly guessing someone else's password, here are a few ways to get you on the right track. If you want to know how to guess the password, follow these steps.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Common tips

1. 

   Use common types of passwords. At the end of each year there will be a list of the 25 most common passwords published. These passwords are the easiest to guess, so they're also the easiest to steal. While you shouldn't choose these types of passwords for yourself, give this list a try to get an idea. A detailed list of the 25 most popular passwords of 2017 includes:
   • 123456
   • Password
   • 12345678
   • 12345

   • password1

2. 

   
   
   Use common password guessing tips. In addition to guessing the passwords that are placed negligently, you can also use some of the tips of the password guessers. For example, they know that there is at least a 50% chance that the password will have more than one vowel. Here are some tips you should know:
   • If the password contains a number, it will usually be 1 or 2, and it will be at the end of the password.
   • If there is a capital letter, it will usually be at the beginning of the password - usually with a vowel attached to it.

3. 

   
   
   Think about whether the password needs to satisfy any of the requirements. Also, does the password need to be of a certain length (usually a password must be at least 6 characters), and whether it contains at least one number or a symbol or special character? are not. If you are unsure, you can try creating an account for yourself at the site where you are trying to detect the password, and you will be informed of the password rules there.

4. 

   
   
   Find a suggestion. If the password has a "hint" option, click it to see if it helps. The question can often be "What is your maiden name?" or "What was your first pet's name?" But this question can help you narrow your search, although you may not know the name of the first pet that the person has, you can guess from the most popular pet names. Or, if subtle enough, try bringing up the first pet topic when talking to the person.
   • The suggestions section can narrow your search a bit if you know some of the person's personal information. For example, if the question is "Where were you born?", You probably already know that information.

Method 2 of 2: Find clues

1. 

   Use names that are relevant to the person. Many people, especially women, use family / friend's own names to set a password. Many people won't use their own name, but you can also give it a try. Here are a few suggestions for you:
   • Name of their lover or spouse
   • Their sibling names
   • The name of the pet they love most or currently have
   • The name of the athlete they like (especially if they are male)
   • Their childhood or present nicknames

2. 

   Guess the person's interests or hobbies. You can also detect someone's password by thinking about their interests or hobbies.
   • Try matching your boyfriend's favorite athlete name with a sport they enjoy. For example "Tigergolf" or "Kobebball".
   • Guess the name of the TV show your girlfriend liked or the name of the character they liked the most from that show.
   • Guess which sport that person likes best. If they like swimming, try the password “Swimmer” followed by a few numbers.

3. 

   Guess the important numbers. Many people use the number in their password, usually a date or a lucky number. Some people even set a completely numeric password. You can try the following numbers or add them to the tail of the phrases you just guessed. Here are a few ways to guess the numbers in the password:
   • Guess their birthday. For example, if the person's birthday is December 18, 1975 type "181275" or "18121975".
   • Try using their home address. The person's home address, such as the number 16, could be part of their password.
   • Try using that person's lucky number. If they ever mentioned the lucky number, use it.
   • If they play sports, try pairing their shirt number into the password.
   • Try using a few numbers from the person's phone number.
   • Try using their class names in college or high school.

4. 

   Use names of things the person likes. You can guess a person's password using things they like. Here are a few suggestions:
   • TV shows they like.
   • The movie they like.
   • Food they like.
   • The book they like.

Advice

• While you are searching for your password, make sure you are not being followed by others.
• If you know the person well, think about their interests and hobbies, as this may help you find the password.
• The password can be case sensitive, and the person can use very unusual upper and lower case combinations. You should be aware of this.
• Sometimes, the person may use verbs instead of nouns.
• If you already know how many characters the password is in, you will save more time.
• For Vietnamese people, you should try to detect password in both Vietnamese and English.

Warning

• The location of the account where you intend to steal your password will usually have a certain "number of wrong passwords" - for example, you may enter it incorrectly 3 times every two minutes. If you exceed that limit, especially for your phone PIN, you may never be allowed to try again.
• Don't commit illegal acts and get yourself into trouble.
• Never detect another person's password if it is illegal (for example, purposefully cracking someone else's Wifi with a known password).
