10 Most Commonly Used Passwords Online


04.26.07 Posted in News by jdmacor

I found this list via Threadwatch and it was written by skore.

 

In PC Magazine’s upcoming May 8th issue they list the 10 most commonly used passwords online – if you are using any of these please turn off your computer immediately, go take a nap and then download this add-on for FireFox.


  1. password
  2. 123456
  3. qwerty
  4. abc123
  5. letmein
  6. monkey
  7. myspace1
  8. password1
  9. blink182
  10. (your first name)

You know, I never once used any of these passwords… But I still kinda want to take a nap…

    Some people don’t realize the importance of having secure passwords until it’s too late. This is one of the things I continue on emphasizing to my family and friends. Better safe than sorry is what I always say. :D
