    ro tip: choosing password as your online password is not

    good idea. In fact, unless youre hoping to be an easy

    rget for hackers, its the worst password you can possibly

    hoose.

    Password ranks first on password management application

    ovider SplashDatas annual list of worst internet

    asswords, which are ordered by how common they are.

    Passw0rd, with a numeral zero, isnt much smarter,

    nking 18th on the list.)

    he list is somewhat predictable: Sequences of adjacent numbers or letters on the keyboard, such as

    werty and 123456, and popular names, such as ashley and michael, all are common choices. Otherommon choices, such as monkey and shadow, are harder to explain.

    SEE ALSO: HOW TO: Protect Your Companys Passwords

    s some websites have begun to require passwords to include both numbers and letters, it makes sense

    aried choices, such as abc123 and trustno1, are popular choices.

    plashData created the rankings based on millions of stolen passwords posted online by hackers. Here is

    e complete list:

    1. password

    2. 123456

    3.12345678

    4. qwerty

    5. abc123

    6. monkey

    7. 1234567

    8. letmein

    9. trustno1

    plashData CEO Morgan Slain urges businesses and consumers using any password on the list to change

    em immediately.

    Hackers can easily break into many accounts just by repeatedly trying common passwords, Slain says.

    Even though people are encouraged to select secure, strong passwords, many people continue to choose

    eak, easy-to-guess ones, placing themselves at risk from fraud and identity theft.

    he company provided some tips for choosing secure passwords in a statement:

    1. Vary different types of characters in your passwords; include numbers, letters and special characters

    when possible.

    2. Choose passwords of eight characters or more. Separate short words with spaces or underscores.

    3. Dont use the same password and username combination for multiple websites. Use an online

    password manager to keep track of your different accounts.

    Sure, you can encourage people to change their passwords, you can even urge them to back up their

    computers, but in the end they will always fight for their right to be stupid.

    What are peoples thoughts on using the same password on multiple sites? usually passwords

    for banking sites are always unique, but for less important sites people use the same password

    for many.

    I use 3 levels of passwords and rely on a pattern so when Im forced to change my

    banking password, I can determine what it is in a few tries. I dont really trust password

    keeper programs or services. And in the end, most passwords arent stolen individually

    from people but en masse from the sites you are logging into. There aint squat you can do

    about that and if you use the same pass everywhere, you are screwed when its stolen

    from them.

    I use pretty much the same strategy as TilVl a pattern of about 3 different passwords that vary

    depending how secure I need them to be. ie: spam email is less secure than, say, Internet

    banking. Definitely safer to mix it up. And, hey, maybe itll keep your memory in check as you get

    older. Ha.

    Everyone knows to use strong passwords but many websites still dont allow you to input special

    characters as part of the password.

    dictionary attack in the open public are sure to use real words with common alpha numerics. All you have

    to do is make a password that doesnt make a word, use upper and lower case, add some numbers in the

    mix. Using game codes like uuddlrlrabba is probably bad too lol. There is no need for a 30 character

    pass, just something 8-13 characters that you can remember or keep safely written somewhere. If you

    are worried about brute force attacks then use 13 character passes. Anything beyond that is up to the

    server admins security practice and how many servers the cracker is using to crack it. Never use the

    same password twice either.

    A dictionary attack isnt very common anymore with people tending to force users to have both numbers

    and letters. The best way to avoid both a dictionary attack and a brute force attack is to make a long

    password thats easy to remember, make up a story like the green horse jumped over the fence to

    remember the password greenhorsejumpfence, a 19 character password of just lower case letters is more

    secure than an 8 letter password thats random alphanumerics.

    Its a shame and puzzling that many sites, notably banks, wont allow machine symbols as part of

    passwords.

    Scott Barbour Follow

    Banks often use a web front-end to a mainframe-type interface. Mainframes typically use the

    EBCDIC encoding, which depending on the implementation may or may not have the Latin-1

    character set. Additionally, many symbols also double as control codes.

    As security breaches happen at places and passwords are stolen, that is also how they try to

    get into other accounts by trying the same username password they stole on ebay over at Chase

    bank. If they get access to your email they can figure out where you do banking or brokerage.

    The rotating number keyfobs are a cool way to really lock things down but EVEN THEY got

    tricked into losing the master decoder for all the fobs out there and have to replace them all.

    my girlfriend has the same username and password on some important websites and then uses it to log

    on to the internet banking! I almost had a heart attack when I found out! I made her to change all of them

    immediately.

    The best password to me is a name of a song. Its long, it has a space (or spaces) and when combined

    with a capital letter and a number its pretty bulletproof. Try cracking Cant buy me love12 :)

    Check out Last Pass. It works over all platforms and it will generate passwords if you prefer.

    same numbers and letters.
