What's
Your Password?
Steve
came across a very interesting article the other day and lucky for all
of you, he shared it with me! How does that make you lucky, you ask?
Well, the article is titled "10 Most Common Passwords" and
it included some mind blowing information that, in my opinion, all of
you should know about too. Below is a list of the 10 most commonly used
passwords by computer users today. Check it out!
1.)
password
2.) 123456
3.) qwerty
4.) abc123
5.) letmein
6.) monkey
7.) myspace1
8.) password1
9.) link182
10.) your first name
Now,
let me ask you this: Is your current password on that list? If so, I
bet you already know what's coming next. Yep, you are putting yourself
at great risk by using a password like that. Passwords like those can
be guessed by hackers in a matter of seconds, which means you're only
making things easier for them. All in all, if you're using one of the
above passwords, I urge you to change it right away. If you need help
coming up with a more secure password, read this tip.
It's very easy to create a password that will keep you better protected,
so please do it today. For goodness sake, please keep yourself safe!
