List of the easiest passwords: 2014

Once a year, lists of the simplest passwords used by Web users are stably published on the Web. The most interesting thing is that simple and duplicate passwords from account to account are used not only by inexperienced users, but also quite a pro. It's just too lazy for most to change the password to a more complex one.

This year, SplashData published its list of the simplest passwords. All data shown is used with the consent of users of the service. At Geektimes, it probably doesn’t make sense to warn about the dangers of such passwords - here everyone knows that. Let's just look at the list.

Perhaps it is not surprising that the tops took passwords such as 123456 and 12345, together with the word password. By the way, such passwords are often used even by advanced users - simply because they are passwords for services that are not critical for a person (well, for example, an account on the website of a newspaper, or a forum, or some other similar resource).

However, there are unique people who use very light combinations even for registration on services that contain information about the user's credit cards. But here, probably, no warnings will help. So, here it is, the full list:

1. 123456

2. password

3. 12345

4. 12345678

5. qwerty

6. 123456789

7. 1234

8. baseball

9. dragon

10. football

11. 1234567

12. monkey

13. letmein

14. abc123

15. 111111

16. mustang

17. access

18. shadow

19. master

20. michael

21. superman

22. 696969

23. 123123

24. batman

25. trustno1

Interesting that passwords like "batman" or "dragon" are relatively new to SplashData - before users did not create such passwords.
