Who's Using 'password' as a Password?

[MM2004]

Too Many!

A study to find the top 25 leaked passwords of 2012 has revealed too many people are still using "password", "123456" and "12345678" for their login credentials.

The table was compiled from (http://splashdata.com/press/PR121023.htm) plain-text passwords and weak unsalted password hashes lifted from compromised databases and dumped online by Anonymous hacktivists and other miscreants. The new entries in this year's list of common passwords are "welcome", "jesus", "ninja", "mustang" and "password1".

This year the dataset was boosted by several high-profile password security breaches at major websites including Yahoo!, LinkedIn, eHarmony and Last.fm.

Here's the table of the top 25 most common leaked web passwords, with the change in position from last year in brackets:

password (unchanged)
123456 (unchanged)
12345678 (unchanged)
abc123 (up one)
qwerty (down one)
monkey (unchanged)
letmein (up one)
dragon (up two)
111111 (up three)
baseball (up one)
iloveyou (up two)
trustno1 (down three)
1234567 (down six)
sunshine (up one)
master (down one)
123123 (up four)
welcome (new entry!)
shadow (up one)
ashley (down three)
football (up five)
jesus (new entry!)
michael (up two)
ninja (new entry!)
mustang (new entry!)
password1 (new entry!)
The roundup, produced by password app biz SplashData, put "123456" in the number two slot for 2012; the same sequence was used by 37 per cent (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2012-11-16/anonymous-hacks-greek-finance-ministry-finds-123456-password-37-all-user-accounts) of all user accounts at the Anonymous-hacked Greek finance ministry (http://www.anonpaste.me/anonpaste2/index.php?96dca2501712c2bd#7zC 3Gk22bl9xGtQbWaaWEeEu46UElidVH WqL/lUNV+0=).

Never use something that is in the dictionary.

That is teh first rule.

honestly the best passwords for me are the ones that are randomly assigned for the first time.. a sequence of jumbled letters & numbers but for some reason I can create a mnemonic & remember it

That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! It's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
