18 Terrible Passwords and How To Fix Them

January 11 2012

Happy New Year! We can tell by our volume of Web visitors that real estate agents are working hard. Welcome back! Hope you had a great holiday break. Now is the time for you to get things cleaned up and ready for the new housing market. First and foremost – clean up all of your passwords.

How many username and password combinations have you left scattered all over the Web? Dozens? Hundreds?

We bring this up because SplashData, a password management application provider, unveiled its "25 Worst Passwords of the Year" for 2011, which was also featured by online news aggregator Mashable.

SplashData compiled their list "from files containing millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers" and stated that "Hackers can easily break into many accounts just by repeatedly trying common passwords . . ." So when they say "worst," they basically mean the most common, and therefore the most easily stolen.

Here's the list:

  2. trustno1
  3. dragon
  4. baseball
  5. 111111
  6. iloveyou
  7. master
  8. sunshine
