If one of these passwords is one of yours, you should probably change it as soon as possible.
Many people think they have a secure password and they won't be hacked. You'd think that everyone knows that internet isn't a safe place. Yet there are still many people who use an obvious password for social media and even important things like online banking.
Fortunately, many sites already set up minimum requirements in order for you to come up with a stronger password. Unfortunately there are still people who will use a rather simple password.
A company called SplashData has released a list of the 25 most common (simple) passwords. It is hard to believe that someone is still using one of these passwords, but here they are:
123 456
password
12345678
qwerty
12 345
123456789
Football
1234
1234567
baseball
welcome
1234567890
abc123
111 111
1qaz2wsx
tarragon
Master
monkey
letmein
login
princess
qwertyuiop
solo
passw0rd
starwars
If your password is on the list, it is recommended to become a little more creative. Do not use your favorite sport as a password. Anybody who knows only a little about you could very easily access your mailbox, Facebook or Instagram.
