The most DANGEROUS passwords

Is your password “secret”?

You better change it…like yesterday.

The word “secret” is this year’s most commonly hacked password, according to Gizmodo, taking less than a second to be hacked and used more than 328,000 times!

The second-worst was “123456,” which is the #1 worst globally followed by “password”, “qwerty123”, “qwerty1”, “123456789”, “password1”, “12345678”, “12345” and “abc123”.

Others you should avoid are “iloveyou”, “baseball”, “princess”, “football”, “monkey” and “sunshine”.

The BEST passwords are twelve or more characters in length with a combination of numbers, letters (both lower and upper case) and symbols…and ones you can remember!
