PasswordWhether we're lazy, stupid or too trusting (or a bit of all three), many computer users tend to use the same passwords for logging onto their PC, email, banking sites and social networking accounts.
PC Magazine has compiled a list of the 10 most commonly used passwords by computer users today. Some are understandable – like numbers 1, 2 and 3 (see below) – while others (such as 6 and 9) are just plain odd.
Here's the Top 10 list of most commonly used computer passwords:
1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace 1
8. password 1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)
If you have any of these, change them immediately.
Computer experts say you shouldn't use the same password for everything because if a malicious type figures it out, they can do some serious damage, especially when it comes to online banking (uploading a picture of a pig wearing a fedora as your Facebook profile, however, is relatively harmless).
It's also recommended to use a combination of letters and numbers that would be virtually impossible to guess, such as "w8llpap6r" and refrain from writing these down on pieces of paper or in a document on your PC (e.g. mypasswords.doc).
So, which are your favourite passwords to use? Just kidding, we don’t want to know them!作者: leo_tsoi 時間: 2008-5-19 19:03
