Worst Passwords Of 2015 by Mich43l(m): 4:13pm On Jan 22, 2016
This report is based on more than 2 million passwords that leaked online during the year. One trend found in 2015 is that while users are coming up with longer passwords (that’s good), they are simple and not random (that’s bad). Two examples are ‘1234567890’ and ‘qwertyuiop’. One just uses every number key and the other uses the top row of keys on a standard QWERTY keyboard.
Here’s Splashdata's complete list of the 25 worst passwords for 2015, with their ranking from 2014 in brackets:
