May 12th, 2011 Most stupid passwords. Rating.

Don’t make your password too simple!

I found rating of the most stupid passwords in the world. We could not call them stupid, they are just too simple. This rating was based on analysis of 32 million accounts of various users.

It is strange that the rating does not include our favorite qwerty, 111, etc.

Rating does not cause any excitement or even smiles, just surprised that users did not pay attention to basic safety rules, almost any registration form gives tips, and even better generates passwords itself.

My advice:

If there is a password generator in the registration form, I think it is better to use it.
Each account should have its unique password.

An example of an ideal password: jK67TtedHH90z – if you feel that you simply be bored with copy-pasting it every time in the authorization form, I assure you that after 2 weeks you will know it by heart.
