18. monkey

19. letmein

20. login

21. princess

22. qwertyuiop

23. solo

24. passw0rd

25. starwars

 

If you recognize any of those passwords as one of yours – shame on you. Learn your lesson and change your password immediately. Passwords like these are effectively worthless.

 

You might think you’re clever choosing a password like ‘1qaz2wsx’ (take a close look at your keyboard if you want to know where that one came from) or ‘starwars’ but it’s clear that plenty of people had the same idea as you.

 

And don’t feel too smug if your password isn’t on this list. The fact is that hackers and password crackers have access to databases of *millions* of the most commonly used passwords – meaning that unless you have taken care creating your password, chances are that it won’t take an enormous effort to crack it.

I think people only do this because they are constantly told "not to write their passwords down" ? So if you have a dreadful memory and use a different password for many sites.. !!

Once used one of the above password several years ago. However, I now prefer to choose just random password and write it down on my personal notebook.

All the more reason never to use the internet for anything financial..
