Is YOUR password secure? 123456 the most common password online

How secure are YOUR passwords? Researchers find 123456 is now the most common password online - beating 'password' for the first time Researchers analysed millions of stolen passwords posted online Warned hackers were now targetting more complex passwords such as dr4mat1c First time 'password' has not been the top word used 'Password' is no longer the worst password on the internet, researchers have discovered. 'For the first time since SplashData began compiling its annual list, 'password' has lost its title as the most common and therefore Worst Password, and two-time runner-up "123456" took the dubious honor,' the security firm said. According to SplashData, this year's list was influenced by the large number of passwords from Adobe users posted online by security consulting firm Stricture Consulting Group following Adobe's well publicized security breach. ' Another interesting aspect of this year's list is that more short numerical passwords showed up even though websites are starting to enforce stronger password policies,' Slain said.
