The 25 Most-used Passwords (That Are Super-easy to Guess)

How secure are your passwords? Hopefully they're more clever than these top 25 most-popular (and therefore least secure) passwords.

1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8. letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon
11. baseball
12. 111111
13. iloveyou
14. master
15. sunshine
16. ashley
17. bailey

19. shadow
20. 123123
21. 654321
22. superman
23. gazwsx
24. michael
25. football

Are any of your passwords on the list? If so, it's time to upgrade to one with varying numbers, capitalization and figures. Separate words with spaces or underscores. And, for crying out loud, don't use your pet's or your spouse's name.
