The data found that the most common passwords were:
1. 123456
2. 12345
3. 123456789
4. Password
5. iloveyou
6. princess
7. rockyou
8. 1234567

10. abc123They say technology slows down for no one. I know it outruns my wallet. I figure its because my wallet isn't light enough yet.

My guess is that these are not "geek" passwords. These passwords are from the more 'simple minded', non-technical end users in systems. The probability that someone in a technically minded profession to use any of these is mind-numbingly minuscule. True "geeks" have a password template ingrained in their head from which they can deviate hundreds of thousands of complex passwords (or at least I do).Princess?? Really? What geek worth his salt uses princess as a password??
But I do have to say 5-7 are... interesting?
