Yeah. :/

I was thinking of getting one of those USB keys. They last for ages from a single charge.

I am happy to report that I've never had any of my passwords appear on these lists.

 

1qaz2wsx is especially pitiful. At least that shows an effort, and yet it's so far, far away from clever I got to feel bad for the people who made them.

 

It shows they've been paying attention to advice about passwords, yet not truly understood the message and completely brainfarting when it comes to the end product.

 

 

Lmfao! "1qaz2wsx" that person must have felt so clever haha. xD

 

 

More like those hundreds of thousands of people.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Can you explain it to me because I'm lost on its meaning?

I thought the most popular password was the enter key :P

 

 

Seriously though you can pick a combo of things that only makes sense to you instead of you know running your hand across they keys in a line, man people are derp

What's funny is that I honestly don't know which service even allow for passwords shorter than 6 digits... So the 4 and 5 digits passwords on this list are surprising to me.

 

I know that phone unlock codes can be 4 digits.. but what terrible service could possibly allow their users to set such an insecure, short password that would be cracked in less than a second...
