Quick take: top ten worst passwords

This makes interesting reading - it's a report, sponsored by those good people at Imperva, about password worst practices. It's got some sage advice too, for anyone who wants to know how to get a bit better at setting passwords.

Her's the top 10 - personally I'm surprised that swear words don't figure, but that's small consolation. 

  1. 123456
  2. 12345
  3. 123456789
  4. Password
  5. iloveyou
  6. princess
  7. rockyou
  8. 1234567
  9. 12345678
  10. abc123

 

Take a look at the full report here.

my fav is my colleague at work (luckily a very distant one) who keeps her login details on a post-it note on her monitor as she 'always forgets it'. Any hope for us?!
