PC Tech's top 10 passwords people use

[ScottyBBadd]

We had a class in orientation where I work on making passwords. They Had to have 1 Uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 number, 1 symbol, and had to be at least be 7 characters long. Oh it is changed every 45 days. My 1st password was 19 characters long including spaces.

What idiots tell these people their passwords?

They're probably not the person's current password. Also an IT tech may have passed on the passwords he sees most often. Since the IT department is usually the one asked to reset passwords, they know what most of them are.

*raises hand* I've had to reset more passwords than you can count, and most people use the simplest ones.
