Passwords

[nivrip]

According to Splash Data the top ten internet passwords of 2011 were, in order -

1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon



Other commonly used ones are

111111
0
consumer
12345

I suppose that they are easy to remember.


Is it any wonder that people get hacked?

(How many of you, out there, use one of the above? )

There are times I get a password from one of our users and I want to have a nice, definitely not heated, conversation with them about how easy it would be to crack. In general, if I can remember their password after a couple weeks of not using it, it's too simple, lol.
