   The number zero appears twice. Other than that, a darned interesting list.

   On the comment that the number zero shows up twice, I would have to bet that is a formatting issue. With most spreadsheets, “000″ or “0000000″ would be converted to “0″ by default. So if this had been stuck into a spreadsheet that was not formatted as “text,” this conversion would have taken place automatically.

   What happened to the password “Susan”. Once upon a time, it was the most popular. I don’t see “pwd” either.

   I was one of first people to be hit by the password police back in about 1980. I was writing documentation for DEC and discovered that a was a legal password on our operating system, 0 to 6 characters, so I went to it for about a week until the system people caught up with me.

    Huh? You see, a hacker will likely try these 500 passwords, and then move on to their next potential victim. Maybe they will try more like 5000, but the less common your password is, the safer it is. Ideally, your password will be unique, and not on any list at all.

    “what’s really surprising (and effed up) is #5.”

    Fucked up? Maybe. Surprising? I don’t think so.

    My biggest pet peeve is the really large websites that try to overcompensate on the password perimiters by making you have 1)at least 8 characters 2)one capital letter 3)one number. To me that just seems like most people will try to copy the example one given.

    comparing that with “boobs” & “tits” #254 & #256 respectively

    also i agree with the comment about “god” and “sex” would have been within top 3 if shorter passwords were considered.

    1. Jesus#1 (literally 100+ users used this password)
    2. NYGiants#1
    3. NYYankees#1
    4. NYMets#1
    5. IloveJesus! (or the variation IlOveJesus! with a zero)

    I learned many moons ago to use a minimal 6 characters and mix it numbers, letters and symbols if you can. It’s nice NOT to see any of my passwords current or past on the list. Why people use words I cannot understand. dictionary is the first source for brute force hacking.

    Is it just me, or is the math a bit screwed up? Or maybe just made up – I couldn’t find any links to sources among the annoying and stunningly irrelevant AdBrite links auto-inserted in the post.

    “…Approximately one out of every nine people uses at least one password on the list shown in Table 9.1! And one out of every 50 people uses one of the top 20 worst passwords..”

    Some back of the envelope calcs say that with about 1.5 billion computer users worldwide (estimated based on info from clickz.com and inc.com), 30 million people use one of the top 20, so if they were evenly distributed each of those top 20 passwords would be used by 1.5 million people, not “hundreds if not thousands”. Another 136,666,667 people would be using the remaining 480 from the list, averaging 284,722 people for each password.

    Well, I didn’t find my Main password, but I found my back-up one: sans the numbers. I used to have to reset passwords, but I also had to change mine every month, just like the riff-raff. One company I worked for required at least one letter and one number, but it tracked the passwords for 2 years so we couldn’t recycle ours. Couple other restrictions as well. Say password was 29word, you couldn’t do the next month 30word because too many similarities. so one month I’d use 29word, then word30, then 31word (it allowed that variation) I went 5 years just bumping and changing locations. Still use the same word for my current stuff, and no one’s able to figure it out because there’s nothing indicating it.

Some of them are so stupid, like ”mistress.” That isn’t anyone’s password. It’s certianly not a top 500 password. Niether is trustno1, panties or pepper.

    By the way, use 1337-speak as a way of creating a good password.

     What’s objectifying and repugnant is how you produce a gross stereotype about the male psyche with no better evidence than a generic list of passwords that not only possess no categorization by gender (therefore you egregiously drew your own conclusions), but also has no citation whatsoever. Your antics are what give feminism its poor reputation.

     I would like to know from where these passwords were obtained. I suspect that the top 500 would differ quite at bit depending on whether the password collection came from an online sex site, gmail, a banking site, new york times online or peoples’ work passwords. To not include that info lessens the effective usefulness of the above article. To get a really useful list it would have to be compiled from many password databases and not just one. The above might be, but I can’t tell from the article.

     “Ah. I was just scrolling down to comment on the fuckedupedness of number five. I see someone beat me to it. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised, though. No one ever lost the farm betting on the objectifying repugnance of the male sex drive.”

     first of all, how do you know males chose those passwords? you don’t. your conclusions are based on speculation and are therefore void when attemting to criticize the “repugnance of the male sex drive”. these passwords could easily have been chosen by women trying to be unpredictable or whatever the case may be. and besides, the male sex drive is not repugnant. sure it may seem so to many/most women, but its what has kept our species alive. without the male sex drive, we would not be here to criticize it. back in the day (way back, like cave men back) reproduction was the man’s choice, and without his sex drive, reproduction would not have occured often enough to produce sufficient populations to survive.

     Теперь я скажу несколько слов о подводке к дичи молодой собаки и о ее стойке.(В работе собаки по дичи следует различать 4 момента (подразделения) ее работы:

     1 — поиск, длящийся до того момента, как собака начнет причуивать признаки присутствия дичи в доступном для ее чутья расстоянии;

     2 — потяжку — работа собаки, разбирающейся в донесшемся до нее запахе до момента окончательного определения ею наличия дичи; эта работа заканчивается

     Im sceptical about this list. It also appears to have an American bias. Noone in any other country would pick such passwords as “Mustang”. Im also surprised about some of the words such as “pussy”. I dont think so!

     I sometimes use weak passwords such as “password” on sites I only have to visit a few times. My two best passwords currently are 9 characters long, made of random characters. In case I forget them, I have them stored in a password-protected zip file, with a weaker, easy-to-remember password used for it.

     I only use human generated passwords when initially setting up an account, I use Password Safe’s generator for all long-term passwords.

     That includes the so-called ‘safety’ questions. If it’s not safe to use your pet’s name a password, then it’s even less safe to use it as the answer to “Your first pet’s name?”

     We need a better way of confirming rights of access…making people change them only irritates them and greatly increases the use of serial numbers on the front or rear of a bad password.

     Part of the problem is the suggestions to make it something ‘easy’ for you to remember (but not for others.) Anyone who can gather data about you, can probably guess your ‘secure’ password so long as it isn’t completely random.

     A related issue, human vs [program identification, fails because most systems use the ability of humans to discern characters from background noise.

     Unfortunately, this is not a task which humans are exceptionally good at, and it is a task which software is becoming VERY good at.

     Much better would be to use faces or animals and questions regarding them. People are VERY good at picking such things out of background noise, and software is not rapidly improving it’s ability to id such things.

     There’s still no better way to break into a system than through a little social engineering.

     I, too, once worked at a place where passwords were changed monthly. I used january, february, etc, for a year when I was told I couldn’t repeat. I switched to newyear, valentine, windy, showers, etc. I’ve used ‘none’ and ’6663′, phone numbers and license plates. I now use the initials of a president (jfk), followed by a year (1492), and some letters (abcd) to make the word unique to the site. I change it regularly; someday it may be fdr1066wxyz.

     LOL, I know people that use some of those, and even weaker passwords. I try to tell them to use at minimum a Nonsequential Alpha-Numeric Combination. It isn’t as easy to hack, and it is more secure in most cases. I personally prefer Nonsequential Alpha-Numeric with Special Characters. I think that is the best way to go, and I also think a minimum of 8 characters is the absolute minimum for a password. If you are on one of these sites like this one, a simple password might be OK; but not for Twitter, Facebook, MySapce, email or your personal bank info; those need a stronger password.

Mine tend to be one (sometimes two) basic-yet-meaningful word(s), combined with other meaningful (to myself) numbers (nothing to do with the word(s)). But lately it’s been one two-word phrase.. still combined with numbers and another word or two like site names or subjects tho. I don’t like using caps in pw’s but sometimes I do anyways ;P And I don’t write them down anywhere, but a few less-used ones are randomly strewn about in a messy text file that contains a couple years worth of net-surfing notes (ie, common links to copy/paste, saved comments I’ve posted places, favorite quotes, etc) just in case.

     I’ be amazed if a site would accept anything less than four characters for a password these days, so ’0′ must be a mistake. In reply to an earlier poster, these passwords aren’t hacked, they’ve just been volunteered by members of the public as ones they’ve used at some time in the past. These days, I think random password generators are the best way to go, using letters, numerals and characters; usually around the 15 to 21 digit length.

     I’ve been using Roboform for years and highly recommend it. I have hundreds of passwords at various sites, and Roboform remembers them all. Even better, it has a password generator which allows you to generate passwords of any strength you want with a couple of clicks. This allows for frequent and easy password changes. The only thing you have to remember is your Roboform password. Just don’t make it one of the 500! )

     Here’s an easy way to create a really strong password that is impossible to crack. It only works in PCs running Windows 2000 and upwards though.

     Just scroll over the text below and copy it, then open Windows Notepad and paste it in. Do a File > Save As and give it this name INCLUDING the enclosing ” ” or else it will just save as a normal text file “MakePassword.cmd” Actually, the file name isn’t important, it’s those surrounding quotes and the .cmd at the end that are important. It is a batch file that will display your password in a “DOS” window.

     —————– start of text to copy (DON’T include this line) ———-
     @echo off
     echo.
     for /f “tokens=1-26 delims= ” %%a in (“u o Y r a e f a 9 o l o 8 m 6 s 4 t i 7 e 5 v o r e”) do @echo Password: %%c%%b%%a %%e%%d%%f %%h %%g%%j%%l%%k %%o%%m%%t,%%i%%q%%v %%r%%s%%n%%u%%p %%x%%w%%z%%y!
     echo.

     My passwords are not on that list because I generally use a mix of CAPITAL letters, common letters and numbers. I learnt that at work and now I do it at home too.
     Was this list compiled by doing a survey, or are my passwords “known” to persons who run the sites I log on to? I assumed the passwords were recognized by the system but NOT seen by the people who work at these places.

The ‘F’ word is for sexual intercourse, which is only for married couples, marriage being instituted by God, the only source of meaningful morality. The word, used in depreciation, as a curse, as casual meaningless, undercuts marriage, thus God, thus ethics, thus any meaning in humanity. Takes ones into Shardik’s hell.

     If you absolutely must use a common word as your password, try using something online to translate it into a language you don’t speak. This reduces the chances of anyone typing it in enormously, as they won’t necessarily speak it, they might know you don’t, and they’ll have no reason to think you did this. Practically untraceable, but still relevant to you.

     I use names of old girl friends, very easy to remember, but don’t substitute numbers or special characters for letters, so not all that secure against a serious hacker. I have a client whose password is ‘secure’. So he can always say that his password is secure! LOL

     the only remotely guessable password i’ve ever used was qwaszx (and if you type it out, you’ll see why)

     but that was for a wifi access point, and it was mac guarded on top of that, so i mean…yeah, I consider myself pretty safe

     I usually just mash the keyboard and pick out the illegal characters and just force it to memory….although this plan has backfired many times :p

     I use the same password (rocketman) for everything, so I’m glad it’s not on these lists (I pressed CTRL-F to be sure). But since it’s from a song, maybe I should change it, because it might be too easy to guess. The problem is, I use it for so many things, it would be a real pain in the butt to change it now.

     Why do people keep demanding to know where the list of passwords came from? Does it not occur to them that even passwords have to be stored somewhere or they wouldn’t work?

     There’s no harm in looking at the passwords as long as you don’t start checking back to see who they come from.

     There was a guy over here who got a bit annoyed with his bank, so he changed his password to “Barclaysarecrap”. Next login he discovered that it had been changed to “Nowerenot”.

     Now that would really have gotten up my nose…

     I have to assume this list is culled from many runs of Lophtrack, or some other password cracking software. When we run it against our AD password file, it can crack some very good passwords in about 30 seconds. Actually, if you run it long enought, Lophtcrack will reveal almost any password less than 15 characters, no matter how “strong” they are. Use a ‘pass phrase’ and not a password for better security. Something like “If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” This is 50 characters, easier to remember than a 12 character “strong” password, and very hard to crack, even if you get the password file.

     I like to use “comment123″ as an easy-to-remember throw-away password for sites that require registration to post comments. I tried “comment1234″ and others using punctuation marks, but found that some sites limited the number of characters that one could use to just the alphanumerics, 10 characters maximum, so I settled on the shorter version. All those admonitions about using long passwords are moot if the the system severely limits the character count and type, or simply ignores extra characters.

     This list is in my opinion limited in few aspects.
     1) missing default factory passwords like admin…
     2) It is not “localised” it’s based on English dictionary. But translations #2 and #5 will definitely have frequent occurrence.
     3) Passwords on this list are definitely bad, but good enough for many of stupid tasks. We are overloaded by “security”. We need a lot of passwords. So, many of as use a few relatively weak passwords frequently. But for important things are using better ones. (I pray for this.) Security is graduated. User account on PC is without password, but without some privileges. Working as admin is rare and is locked by secure password.

     For example: to post my stupid remark I must write down my e-mail address. It is for some reason good for site owner, but I am not sure, if it is good for Me. If You were not “good boy”, my address can appear on spammer’s list. So, I have one “compromised”, not so much secure e-mail account. (That I’m checking only in rubber glove.) On the other side. Only me and my provider Telefonica O2 had known some of my e-mail addresses. I’ve never used them and I’ve never told about them to anyone else. But spam came to them. What a wonder!!!!
     Don´t forget, that security is end-to-end task. I am worried, that Telefonica O2 may be using passwords from this list. In such case You can do anything and You will not be secure.

     Is it just me, or is the math a bit screwed up? Or maybe just made up – I couldn’t find any links to sources among the annoying and stunningly irrelevant AdBrite links auto-inserted in the post.

     “…Approximately one out of every nine people uses at least one password on the list shown in Table 9.1! And one out of every 50 people uses one of the top 20 worst passwords..”

     Some back of the envelope calcs say that with about 1.5 billion computer users worldwide (estimated based on info from clickz.com and inc.com), 30 million people use one of the top 20, so if they were evenly distributed each of those top 20 passwords would be used by 1.5 million people, not “hundreds if not thousands”. Another 136,666,667 people would be using the remaining 480 from the list, averaging 284,722 people for each password.

     Flawed – there are different languages therefore different passwords in different countries.

     Nothing is worse than forgetting your password which may mess up your day fully.
     One free solution is to link your hard drive to another computer. You can change your password by booting from another computer. However this method might cause damage to your system if you did it wrong. A safe solutionis to boot from a bootable CD and then edit the registry windows\\system32\\config for password. I would recommend you to try it. They promise no-hassle refund if you can not get your work done.Check this out:http://www.password-genius.com/how-to/how-to-recover-my-windows-login-password.html“

     on March 2nd, 2010 at 6:06 pm

     For everyone saying “Why isn’t pwd or 123 on there”, the answer is simple. Most websites have a built in REGEX password checker. This is a simple couple lines of script that can be manipulated to not allow passwords that:
     -All Numbers
     -All Letters
     -All One Case
     -Shorter than X
     -Longer than X

     In such a fashion, most password programs use tables like this in a text file to weed out insecure passwords. It’s sort of like how you can’t chose 1234 as a Bank CCard PIN.

     on May 6th, 2010 at 2:24 am

     I will tell you an very useful method of making passwords:

     First think of a sentence which you will remember. Ex:My password is : (You can type any easy word known to you. Such as 123456-Most weakest)

     Now take out the spaces – mypasswordis:123456

     The most important thing is…………type it last to front!!! – 654321:sidrowssapym

     Now…….. I’ll bet yours will be on the top EASIEST 500.

     You can use the same password everywhere and it will become easier as you use it more and more!!

     I’ve used this method everywhere and none of them has been touched!!!!

     example: Dragons are scratching my balls and i am moaning through the pain.

     pwd: dasmbaiamtp

     throw on a random number and you’re set.

     One of the top reasons a password can be cracked is because people are, for the most part, lazy…mentally and/or physically (why else was the can opener and automobile created?). If the max number of letters is not anything short of say, 12 characters or less, cracking the password is relative child’s play for today’s hackers. And for that very reason I prefer to have a password that is at least 30 characters long. I figure that if they can crack that, then they can have whatever’s inside.

     -> Mix your passwords with numbers.
     Ex. maryjane[then your favorite number thrice!]

     -> Avoid making a name as your password.
     Ex. maryjane , ralph , sharon

     -> If you can, make a password in other language.
     Ex. 너진짜싫어요 ( I really hate you)

     want a good way to protect. use a poly alphabet code. pick a word like password then add to the letters the first letters of the website-ie whatsmyp + password = mitmqzqt . also it’s easy to learn to get fast at and don’t need a mystery question. This is not without flaws but this is a simple version of the nazi enigma code that took a math god like turing to solve so at least you are secure from non-NSA employees.

     Since my name isnt on the list, and by judging only ncc1701 in that it has no letters after it, this list is probably from 1970 to 1975. Another clue is that Admin or Administrator used as a common password was not common then, and routers didnt exist then, either – not in the same way since Cisco started making them. Also, default , as a concept didnt exist until Windows for XT and revisions of COBOL, so it wasnt in the geek lexicon yet. Ya, there are no passwords here from anything before 1980, that’s for sure.

     A note to ‘joshua’ , following my earlier theory that this list could not have come from much past 1980, ‘joshua’ (according to imdb, and it happens to be correct on this) came from the named mechanical arm in Demon Seed (1977), but it WAS used later as a TRIBUTE to it, by the directors, for the backdoor name of the WOPR, Note: WOPR should be on the list, too, “But, it’s not on the list!”. (hehe, and niether is tic-tac-toe on this password list, and today, it probably would be)

     Also, curious, why isnt ‘backdoor’ in this list as a password? Again, that concept didnt appear in public geekdom until around the time of its necessity when passwords were needed (post internet controlled by DARPA handed to the public domain, pre-web). DARPA didnt need it any longer and then only used it for benign communication between Universities that were contracted for research.

     In the earliest days of the Internet – before it was called the Internet – the webs were used benignly by Universities, and since academia generally trusted each other, passwords weren’t even necessary, or at least weren’t though of as such for the purposes of electronic mail (later called email).

     This list came from a hand written note,by the way, fram a network administrator. Not the guy who posted this article – what a bunch of buttheads!

     go for a walk for about an hour go anywhere preferably somewhere busy and bustling with lots of traffic and sign written vehicles loads of billboard and neons signs etc and thousands of people walking pass you or on other side of street etc.

     once in this environment continual to walk and window shop or people watch whilst walking. Then at random intervals pick out what catches your eye . like a letter from a vehicle registration plate, a word from a shop sign, any thing you see like a plane flying overhead a person across the road, a colour you see, and note these down so you have stuff like P from a vehicle registration X from a sex shop — 2 from spec savers (two eyes get it) R from a red dress 4 from a telephone number on an advert C from a chinese girl who catches your eye. S from bus stop. etc until you have sixteen letters and numbers.

     now go home and put them together, if where you are wanting a new password only allows 8 letters or characters either use first or last eight the middle eight or randomly select 8.

     if where you are logging on allows more than 8 then use 10 minimum or whatever length you are comfortable with.

     if where you are wanting a new password allows things like % { etc throw 2 to 4 of these in

     then throwaway your new password and forget it, because most places where you login allow you to reset your password based upon a username which we rarely forgot, so it’s probably best not to remember passwords but just keep reseting them ( doesn’t work in every place because some vendors will ask for lots of security questions) so in these cases, do not throw away your randomly generated street walking password but keep it somewhere safe away from the computer.

     a walkabout password i constructed earlier is

     cu7k2pa3mvb3£Kgu4 still breakable but a bit harder than “whatpassword” etc

     if you remove the duplicate U’s and duplicate 3′s from this password it is much harder to crack.

     [...] First off, for those that don’t know, when you see a password being cracked in a movie, that’s fake.  (I KNOW! Hollywood lies to us! Who knew?!?)  What is wrong with it is usually you’ll see the “hacker” slowly gaining one character of the password at a time.  This simply isn’t so.  When cracking a password, there are only 2 outcomes to an attempt. One is “Incorrect Password” and the other is “Correct”.  Notice neither of these give any clue to the length, nor whether any of the characters are correct.  Knowing this, most hackers/crackers go through a few steps.  The first one is called a common attack.  The hacker will have a list of common passwords that people use.  In fact here is what a quick Google search turned up:  http://www.whatsmypass.com/the-top-500-worst-passwords-of-all-time [...]

     People are stupid, hackers don’t sit there and guess passwords based on what is most common, they either use listeners to get a string of data (which is exact), or keylog your computer, or use programs that run through each key (more common with numeric passwords… starts with 0, runs to 9999999… by 1′s) Having a common password is no easier to figure out than having a random string of characters. I used the pass “letmein” on an account for a long time (changed it awhile ago), and it never got hacked. But that’s probably because I’m not an idiot and didn’t let anyone know what my pass was.

(If I still used that password, I would not have posted it here.) Even though I admit it was pathetic, it was probably also rather strong as a password.
     Moral of the story: Don’t use simple words as passwords. Use sentences.

     [...] The second issue people have to deal with when selecting a password is the complexity. This is highlighted in the comic by the illustration of “bits of entropy”. I will save you the rather boring and extremely technical details about bits of entropy and base-2 logarithms, but let’s do look at what comprises complex passwords. We have long passed the era of common word passwords being effective for security. In fact, if you are still using a common word (or common words put together) as your password, you should finish reading this article then IMMEDIATELY change your passwords. Common word passwords are not, repeat NOT secure. Password length does not really matter in the use of common word passwords. For example, “happyislandhawaii” looks secure because it is long. In fact, that password is easily crackable because the complexity is minimal. To add complexity a password should contain both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, it shouldn’t be something that is easily guessed from your profile. In other words, don’t use your birthday, street name, address, phone number, etc. Oh, and stay away from the most common passwords. [...]

     [...] to start by looking at what makes a lousy password. Back in 2008, a security service identified the worst 500 passwords of all time [contains some profanity]. Passwords like 12345, rosebud, porsche, and studmuffin are quite common. [...]

     I cannot believe that not a single one was over eight characters. It is as if they had a length limitation.

     I think it is because people think that is a random key stroke but it is not.

     this fails to mention the fact that most common passwords are those which users are reluctantly forced to choose when they don’t see a reason to secure their account — for most of the billions of users of twitter/delicious/multiply/etc­, if you’re not a celebrity it doesn’t make a lick of difference if the whole world knows your password — what’s the worst thing that could possibly happen??

     I would think that, aside from the list presented above, the worst password possible would be something relevant to the computer’s user, owner, administrator. For example; the person’s birthday, a pet, one’s spouse, children’s names and/or birthdays, etc. If one does not pick something so blatant and obvious then one’s password stands the chance of not making onto one’s personal list of all time worst passwords.

     The best passwords are simply random words lumped together, such as moosemonkeygreen, which is not my actual password,, just an example.

     Funny, thought I really had a clever password, the nickname of my very first love (and it’s not even a name)…it’s up there. At least I’ve added some numbers to it recently.

     What the hell, lol. Why do people always assume the pervy passwords are the ones that are the least easiest to figure out? I knew a guy whose password was “pussy,” I thought he was messing with me but it was really his password.

     I don’t understand how this list was obtained.. surely passwords are secret? Even if someone manages to break many, there are still many more ….

     I tried to create an account for one of the fund-raising sites supported by Convio. I was trying to use a good password, but the site wouldn’t accept it. Finally, in discust, I typed in what I felt like saying, rather than typing a good password. And that is how I ended up with #49 as a password.

     Brute force attacks by hacking programs.
     they try the dictionary, in any order including variations of leetspeak. nonesense passwords are the best though im using a password pretty easy atm. not on the list though.
     by the way the lists real and contains the top resulting password matches by hackers.

     Just knowing something about the person and you can find their password. Are people really being clever? Or are they blindly being stupid? The latter seems to be the obvious answer.
