SplashData has compiled a list of the 25 most popular passwords of 2013, and at the top of the list is probably the most obvious one, ‘123456’.
Also in the list were passwords like ‘qwerty’, ‘password’, ‘letmein’ and ‘oooooo’, you can see a full list of the 25 most popular passwords of 2013 last year.
SplashData has announced its annual list of the 25 most common passwords found on the Internet. For the first time since SplashData began compiling its annual list, “password” has lost its title as the most common and therefore Worst Password, and two-time runner-up “123456” took the dubious honor. “Password” fell to #2.
According to SplashData, this year’s list was influenced by the large number of passwords from Adobe users posted online by security consulting firm Stricture Consulting Group following Adobe’s well publicized security breach.
