Edit: The 25 that appear in the list are:
123456 password 12345678 qwerty 12345 123456789 football 1234 1234567 baseball welcome 1234567890 abc123 111111 1qaz2wsx dragon master monkey letmein login princess qwertyuiop solo passw0rd starwars
A lot of these are the same from previous years like 12345.
One that did catch my eye was 1qaz2wsx
Take a look at your keyboard to see that one. While it has potential, it could be a little longer. It is still the strongest one from the list though.
For research purposes, I have went ahead and pulled these 25 most common passwords of 2015 into a convenient text file. Located at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5qOIaafmEh3NWhXTnBXR1kzZzg/view?usp=sharing
Hopefully, 2016 will bring much stronger passwords to the general public, but going off of previous years, I have my doubts.
Interesting. By the way, password appears twice in this list.
ReplyDeletenope, later one is written with 0 not with an O... so literally there is one password in the list.
Deletehow come "password" is twice in this list
ReplyDeleteLucky those that have a qwerty or azerty keyboard :)
ReplyDeleteMean qwertz :)
ReplyDelete"password" appearss 2 times in the list: at 2nd and 24th place
ReplyDeleteWow, the `1qaz2wsx` one was definitely a surprise...I wonder if there's a drop in frequency between the `111111` password and `1qaz2wsx` since the words after it also seem "less typical".
ReplyDeletePassword twice on the list?
ReplyDelete24 should be passw0rd (with a zero in place of the "o").
ReplyDeleteWhy is "password" listed twice? In the 2nd and 24th positions. Is there some difference between them?

ReplyDeletethe password 'password' appears twice....
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the feedback. I've updated the post so that password isn't listed the same twice and now has the passw0rd variant listed.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
1qaz2wsx
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea ;)
