Mashable reports that SplashData, a password management provider, enlists the top 25 most commonly used passwords in the internet. Don’t get us wrong, but we think you might as well feel a bit of shame if you could see your most precious password in the list below. Just so you know, these passwords are extracted by SplashData from Hackers that post it online. So here it goes:
1. password
2. 123456
3.12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon
11. baseball
12. 111111
13. iloveyou
14. master
15. sunshine
16. ashley
17. bailey
18. passw0rd
19. shadow
20. 123123
21. 654321
22. superman
23. qazwsx
24. michael
25. football
An effective and less prone to a hacker password is a combination of charaters, letters and special symbols like $, &, 0, @, etc. This tightens the probability of hackers to encrypt your password. For example, if your chosen password would be “shortcake”, you can modify it into “$h0rtc@k3”. Get what I mean? So you might want to change your password now?
