10 Most Commonly Used Online Passwords

Ybother
In PC Magazine's upcoming May 8th issue they have listed the top 10 most commonly used passwords online. So in case you are using any one of them change it ASAP.

2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace1
8. password1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)

if you ask me, there is a simple way to get a easy to remember and hard to crack password.
just use a word you like and do the following steps,
1) Replace the vowels in the word with the characters that are linked to the word.
A=@
E=3
I=1
O=()
U=you

2)Get your day of birth(1-31), press and hold on to alt and type in your day of birth. Now release the Alt button. You should now see a special character that no dictionary attack will ever guess. Do this for your month of birth and year(the last 2 characters only) too

eg
Old password= Todaysten
DOB: 15.10.83

after step1: T()d@yst3n
after step2:T()d@yst3n☼◙S

There it is, a simple secure password that you will remember. Don;t worry, I never ever use that as my password ever.

    Nice suggestion, but most websites only permit the use of alpha-numeric characters. (, ), @, ☼, and ◙ will probably be unacceptable.
