1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace 1
8. password 1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)

I can honestly say I've never used any of the above.

This reminds me of when the Hype wanted us to use our Mother's maiden name for a password. A number of us Hypesters pointed out what a major security gaff that would be, because if you have a persons real name (from their e-mail address) and their Mother's maiden name, you could possibly get access to their bank accounts.

DON'T USE YOUR MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET.

You know... I'm not actually sure what my mother's maiden name is... grandma had re-married twice by the time I came along.

'Swordfish' didn't make the top 10? I guess Halle's ta-tas are the only relevance that movie is to have.

<~~~ uses 14 -20 digit password at work that requires 2 uppercase, 2 lowercase, 2 non-consecutive numbers, 2 special characters, cannot form a word or name and cannot be similar to any previous passwords...and we have to change them every 90 days...or something like that. And I have 3 accounts at work that have those requirements. I'm sure I'm missing some stupid detail but basically that's the garbage I have to go through.

i HATE memorizing those damn things. I can't wait til we goto biometrics.
