Some of the passwords definitely come from leaks, but adding 123 or 2026! to the end of a frequent username is a surprisingly common pattern. Lots of suffix variants: 123!, 2025, 2025!, @2025, @123, etc. In fact, the Trivia pane of knock-knock.net points out when the password is just the username plus a suffix.
