The password is "password"
PC Magazine’s May issue’s got the top 10 most commonly used passwords online — I wonder how many of the people using the password “password” are just doing so because of login-fatigue. Interestingly, “monkey” is at #6. I wonder how they actually gathered the data for this. Hm.

The problem is that strong passwords are VERY hard to remember and you should never reuse the same ones (that leads straight to identity theft). The solution is to use a password manager. All that is, is a sort of secure organizer that lets you store all those impossible to remember (but strong) passwords. Another article here from our blog that gives some more information:
