    Arrow The most common passwords are -

     
    In this list:
    Are you password protected? | GDS Publishing
    "Easy to crack"

    After the security breach, database security firm Imperva analysed the passwords used, publishing a report entitled Consumer Password Worst Practices.

    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
    9. 12345678
    10. abc123
    Princess?? Really? What geek worth his salt uses princess as a password??
    They 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).

    But I do have to say 5-7 are... interesting?
