The top passwords have been revealed and they are too easy

by

So it turns out it might not actually take too many brain cells in order to hack someone if you really want to, there's a good chance you could guess their password. 

Unlike some of us who create the most ridiculously elaborate passwords that sometimes we can't even remember them ourselves, the majority of people have simply stuck to the basic '123456' and we can't believe it. 

It seems people might be a bit hung up on trying to chose passwords that they can remember easily and it has resulted in some hilariously basic passwords. 

According to Splashdata these are the most used and all we can think is "seriously you guys?"

1. 123456
2. password
3. 12345
4. 12345678
5. qwerty
6. 123456789
7. 1234
8. baseball
9. dragon
10. football
11. 1234567
12. monkey
13. letmein
14. abc123
15. 111111
16. mustang
17. access
18. shadow
19. master
20. michael
21. superman
22. 696969
23. 123123
24. batman
25. trustno1

Our favourite definitely has to be number 25 "trustno1".
