The password is "password"

by Alex Schleifer
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.

Here’s an article on how to make a better passwords: http://passpack.wordpress.com/2006/12/29/passpack-strong-passwords-times-three/ 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: http://passpack.wordpress.com/2007/01/19/why-you-must-use-a-password-manager/ PassPack is a free password manager.
