Most Common Passwords

Mon Apr 30, 2007 11:58PM EDT

There are many articles on Yahoo! Tech regarding password security, but no matter what advice we get or receive, we're all most likely to choose a password we can remember. Unfortunately, cyberthieves know this weakness all too well, and try to hack into accounts just by using the most common passwords online first.

Do you use any of these?

password
123456
qwerty
abc123
letmein
monkey
myspace 1
password 1
blink182
(your first name)
