Passwords are about the worst thing about the whole computer age. I hate remembering them. I hate coming up with them. I hate storing them away (in places I long ago forgot). So everybody tries to come up with clever passwords they can easily remember. Thus, we have the list of the 500 most common passwords. You think you’re being clever, and so did the 15,000 other people who came up with the exact same password.
The good people over at whatsmypass.com say that 1 in 9 people use at least one password from this list and one out of 50 use one of the top 20 most common passwords.
Only one curse in the top ten! So, yeah, you’ve be warned. Now go read the list…
