Tesh Wednesday - Top 10 Passwords



Here are the Top 10 most used passwords...

#1 Most common is “password”.

#2 “1-2-3”.

#3 Chicago. Or any other city name. If it’s your home town or the city you live in, it’s too common.

#4 “Let Me In”.

#5 1-2-3-4-5

#6 Qwerty. What’s that? Look down at your keyboard. It’s the first six letters on the top row.

#7 Charlie – or whatever your name is.

#8 on the list: Raiders, Steelers, Red Sox, Dodgers, Maple Leafs, or Oilers. Basically, don’t use the name of your favorite sports team.

#9 your birth date

#10 your kids’ names

If any of these apply to you... Change your password. Better safe than sorry.

  1. This is a neat post! I used to have "password" as my password on my computer here at work, you have to change it every so many months so after awhile I couldn't come up with anything creative! The Qwerty one is neat, I would have never thought about that!
