Thursday, January 22, 2015: SplashData has revealed an annual list of 25 worst passwords in the world, at such point of time, when the entire globe is battling with severe Internet security issues. One of them, which stands at number 25 on the list, is 'TrustNo1', and believe it or not, this is the most operational entry point to access Internet in this insecure era. It's a failed password, no doubt. | |
These 'highly useful secrets' are obviously production of the biggest part of the end users' brains which are applied to protect some of the most sensitive data, including financial ones. These kinds of passwords don't even require hackers to give a halt and think for the second time what could tear a software apart. These top 25 worst passwords have been compiled from a list of 3.3 million leaked passwords and the top most among the worst ones are, guess what, '123456' and 'password', which is pretty incredible. But this is the truth. Since last four years these two passwords have retained their spots on the list.
The strongest 8-character password in the list is '12345678', and it's the winner of the fourth rank on the list. The list says, for passwords, most netizens prefer numericals. Among the 25 passwords, 9 are pure numbers and the biggest promotion has been received by '12345' but it has been a loser-loser situation for '123123' as it has dropped 12 ranks. The first time entries to the list this year are '696969' and 'batman'. Well, we don't know why batman was not here for so long and 'superman' has also landed for the first time at No. 21. Sports makes users happy that much that they can make passwords too, of course some failed ones. 'Baseball' is at No. 8 while 'football' is at No. 10.
Here comes the complete list of the top 25 worst passwords of the year. Read and enjoy...
