The worst passwords of 2012

1____If any of your passwords are on this list, then shameIf any of your passwords are on this list, then shame

on you and go change them now. SplashData, which makes

password management applications, has released its annual

4 “worst passwords” list compiled from common passwords that

are posted by hackers. The top three — “password”, “123456”

and “12345678” — have not changed since last year. New ones

7 include “jesus”, “ninja”, “mustang”, “password1” and

“welcome”. Other passwords have moved up and down on the

list. The most surprising addition is probably “welcome”,

10 which, according to CEO Morgan Slain, “means that people are

not even changing default passwords… and it doesn’t take that

much time to make a new password!”

13____You should have different passwords for all of yourYou should have different passwords for all of your

accounts. To make it easier to remember them all, Slain

suggests thinking about passwords as “passphrases”. For

16 instance, use a phrase like “dog eats bone” and add

underscores, dashes, hyphens, and other punctuation marks to

satisfy the special character requirement: “dog_eats_bone!”.
