Top 25 passwords

[techs]

Splashdata, a security software developer, released its annual list of the most common passwords on the Internet. Once again, “password,” “123456,” and “12345678” are the three most popular, in that order.

The list of most common passwords is based on file dumps from online hackers. Splashdata notes that 2012 saw several high-profile security breaches, including Yahoo, LinkedIn, eHarmony, and Last.fm. The company says it releases its annual list to raise awareness of bad passwords—and, just as likely, to promote its SplashID password management software.

Slap my face!

In addition to the usual face-palm provokers such as "abc123'"and "qwerty," the list includes some returning oddballs: “monkey,” “baseball” and “shadow.” A few of the new entries are more unexpected: “jesus,” “ninja,” and “mustang” all made the top 25.

On a more encouraging note, “password1” cracked the top 25 this year, so perhaps people are learning that a combination of letters and numbers makes for a stronger password. (Now they just need to work on not picking the most obvious of each.)

Here's the top 25 list:

President Skroob: [enters after the interrogation of King Roland] Well? Did it work?

Where's the king?

Dark Helmet: It worked, sir. We have the combination.

President Skroob: Great. Now we can take every last breath of fresh air from planet

Druidia. What's the combination?

Dark Helmet: 1 2 3 4 5.

President Skroob: 1 2 3 4 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage! Prepare Spaceball 1 for immediate departure!

Dark Helmet: Yes, sir!

President Skroob:</SPAN> And change the combination on my luggage!

Whenever I have to reset passwords for users I usually give them Abcd1234, could be worse.

 

[AMDZen]

I think they forgot '123321' I use that one for everything

 

[darkxshade]

wat, no asdfasdf?

 

[DrPizza]

I used to use really lazy passwords (easy to type passwords) like asdf;lkj. When I saw qwerty, that got me wondering if others use similar passwords? (Or place your hands anywhere on the keyboard, say one row up from the homekeys, and qwerpoiu12340987 takes <1 second to type.)

[Jaskalas]

The passwords I use are not a big deal, in terms of difficulty.

Usually word+number+word... except for my e-mail... that puppy is a phase that happens to include a common password of mine. That one will never fall except via key logging. :ninja:
