Well they couldn't remember their password for their PC, I bet its not on the list.

Anyone who uses the password "Joshua" must work for the defense department. "Care to play a game" anyone?

I once worked for a web development company that, I shit you not, had a password of "letmein123" on their webserver.

6969? Sounds like 80% of the screen names on yahoo messenger.

I just make up a way to translate a mixture of phone numbers I have memorized into letters and other numbers.

Its easy to remember and very secure, and i can come up with loads of them for my different accounts.

President Skroob: Did it work? Where's the king?
Dark Helmet: It worked, sir. We have the combination.
President Skroob: Great. Now we can take every last breath of fresh air from Planet Druidia. What's the combination?
Colonel Sandurz: 1-2-3-4-5
President Skroob: 1-2-3-4-5?
Colonel Sandurz: Yes!
President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.
Dark Helmet, Colonel Sandurz: [looks at each other]

Any password is safe enough if the stupid log-in system doesn't allow unlimited attempts to guess the password. Seriously, even something as simple as 123456789 might not be guessed if the person starts at 12345, and gets cut off after three guesses. Throw a random letter or other character in there anywhere and it will NEVER be guessed on a truly secure system.

However, if your login system lets anyone guess passwords repeatedly with no count limit or mandatory wait period, then any password will be guessed, even if its IOdfdf___23123__!@dffd_34232.

Seriously, 3 tries and it locks the account for 5 minutes. 3 more an its 30 minutes, etc.. etc..

My company pisses me off cause it makes us change passwords every 3 months. Seriously, 3 months, did they do a study and figured after 3 months some hacker is getting close to guessing the password? Password security is a joke because people rely on the users to protect themselves.

I don't recall 4-digit PIN numbers for ATM cards being a major security risk. You know why? After too many failed attempts, the machine TAKES THE FREAKING CARD and the bank locks-out access to the account, no more guesses for mister criminal.

Uncalled for.

 

[noodlegts]

Hahaha that's the same combination I've got on my luggage!

I like that 50% of them are dirty words / insults. LOl @ cumshot.

 

[ssddx]

+1 Hellwig. So True.

With lockouts after failed attempts even simple passwords are made secure. However, on the off chance that a person tries 500 accounts with "password" and gets a hit, they are utterly screwed. I typically use an easy to remember alphanumeric code to prevent this (and to save me frustration in entering the darn thing.)

In addition: spaceballs... what a great movie to quote in this situation!

 

[shanky887614]

lol i think ill start using passwords in leetspeak
e.g. hello in leet is

/-/3110

 

[kenwheeler77]

[citation][nom]Gulli[/nom]"At one point or another we've all had a lame password that we used just because it was easy to remember. Sure, "boobies" or "password" might be easier to remember than "hh67g_omi_jja" or something else similarly cryptic, but you're definitely putting yourself at risk with such a weak password."There's more in this world then the English language: try picking an easy to remember word in a foreign language (a word that doesn't exist in English of course).[/citation]

Yes, let's do that because only English speaking people hack computers and no one would think to try a simple word in another language....

btw, what's 12345 in Russian? Maybe I'll use that one! 😉

Reminds me of a blonde-girl joke...

 

[kikireeki]

Could you please sort them in an alphabetical order?

 

[HalJordan]

Every time I come up with a great new password that is equally hard for someone else to guess, yet easy for me to remember I come across another system that won't allow certain characters to be used. So, I have a sheet of about 50 passwords hidden away. Which is a no-no for security, but who can easily remember 50 passwords made up of "Q&_t139erN_1" ?
