TOP 25 WORST PASSWORD OF 2014 – IS YOURS ONE OF THEM?

Its really sad that people are very lazy to create strong passwords to log into social media, stores, email and other websites. In one year 3.3 million passwords leaked online , in this SplashData has listed the 25 most common — and therefore least secure

The 100 worst passwords include easy series of letters and numbers in alphabetical or numerical order, or as they appear on the keyboard (e.g. “qwerty” and “1qaz2wsx,” the first two semi-columns of keys),   sports teams and favorite sports and less than clever phrases like “letmein,” “access,” and, ironically, “trustno1.”

“Passwords based on simple patterns on your keyboard remain popular despite how weak they are,”“Any password using numbers alone should be avoided, especially sequences. As more websites require stronger passwords or combinations of letters and numbers, longer keyboard patterns are becoming common passwords, and they are still not secure” says Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData

“The bad news from my research is that this year’s most commonly used passwords are pretty consistent with prior years,” said by a security expert Mark Burnett
