10 Most Common Passwords

Perhaps you want to hack into your enemy’s email account and send an email to his girlfriend telling her he wants to break up;) Perhaps you just wish to keep your online accounts secure. Either way, here are the top 10 most common passwords. I highly suggest against using any of these, especially for anything important. Yes, there are people who are bored enough to try to guess passwords.

*I’m not promoting hacking into somebody else’s account

password - Well, this is an obvious one for someone who isn’t very creative
123456 - A classical first password for beginners

qwerty - Lazy? Just hit some keys that are conveniently next to each other
abc123 - A little better than 123456 but still unoriginal and guessable

letmein - I’m not too sure about this one, but it is on the list

monkey - A very popular instinctual password if you just try to think of a random word

myspace1 - Common password for myspace where you have to have at least one number and letter in a password

password1 - Need a number in the password? Just add 1 after your unoriginal one.

blink182 - I’m not too sure about this one either, but somehow it’s also on the list. They’re fairly well-known, but probably not the first band that comes to mind.

Whatever your first name is - Well, this one should be obvious to avoid

My bad, the form should be working now. You’re probably talking about the link exchange. I restarted the whole thing because I moved my blog. If you update my links, then I’ll put yours back.

I tried using the contact form but it ain’t working =(

Anyways, here’s what I’m trying to say:

Hi Claire,

This is Chris from rockyourvote. Well, it’s not about link exchange, I was just wondering whether you would be interested in joining my blog as a paid blogger?
I will be more than happy to pay you to blog on my new blog at http://www.reviewcolumn.net

If you’re interested, lemme know how many posts in a week you will be able to make then we discuss about the pay rate ok?
Or you may choose to get paid per post?

Currently we already have three paid blogger, one of them just joined today, and I need one more.

You are probably thinking why you. Well, as a matter of fact, I only hire people with good command of English as well as writing skills, most importantly you have your own unique style of writing. That’s why you’re chosen. hehe

So, think about it, would you? Lemme know ya. And please delete this comment after reading it, thanks! It’s not meant for everyone else to see.

Thanks & cheers,
Chris

When I was taking a psychology college course, the professor briefly discussed passwords people use. She said most often people create passwords 7 letters or less, because supposedly studies show people can usually only remember up to 7 pieces of information. (That may be why phone numbers are 7 digits, minus area code)
