HogNose Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 123456? really? :doh: If you see your password below, STOP! Do not finish reading this post and immediately go change your password -- before you forget. You will probably make changes in several places since passwords tend to be reused for multiple accounts. Here are two lists, the first compiled by SplashData: 1. password 2. 123456 3.12345678 4. qwerty 5. abc123 6. monkey 7. 1234567 8. letmein 9. trustno1 10. dragon 11. baseball 12. 111111 13. iloveyou 14. master 15. sunshine 16. ashley 17. bailey 18. passwOrd 19. shadow 20. 123123 21. 654321 22. superman 23. qazwsx 24. michael 25. football Last year, Imperva looked at 32 million passwords stolen from RockYou, a hacked website, and released its own Top 10 "worst" list: 1. 123456 2. 12345 3. 123456789 4. Password 5. iloveyou 6. princess 7. rockyou 8. 1234567 9. 12345678 10. abc123 If you've gotten this far and don't see any of your passwords, that's good news. But, note that complex passwords combining letters and numbers, such as passw0rd (with the "o" replaced by a zero) are starting to get onto the 2011 list. abc123 is a mixed password that showed up on both lists. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/25-worst-passwords-2011-revealed-202955980.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Gotta be pretty stupid to use most of those those passwords anyway. Although #23 is odd one to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Ahh...That is just sad. One, that I never thought of that reason, but two, because so many other people thought it was a good idea for a password. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 See, you just gotta outsmart the hackers with passwords like poiuyt, 321bca, uoyevoli, or drowssap. Now if you'll all excuse me, I have to go change the combination for the locks on my luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Those are dumb. I use R3dZk1nZ for everything I have that uses a password. No one's hacked me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 This report on RockYou passwords was first made about year ago, or possibly longer. As yours truly commented at the time ... far, far dumber than any user's individual password is the fact that a company (RockYou) was storing millions of their customer passwords unencrypted.
