Here is a list of the most common passwords and if any of these are your passwords, you might think about changing them.

According to Time, a list has just been released of the most common passwords based on more than 3.3 million passwords that were leaked last year.

It's shocking that in this day and age, people trust the safety of their email, their bank accounts, and their Netflix queues to passwords like these.

The most common password last year was "123456."  The second-most common was the word "password."  A company called SplashData started doing this study in 2011, and "123456" and "password" have been the top two passwords every single year.

The top 10 most common passwords are:

  1. 123456
  2. password
  3. 12345
  4. 12345678
  5. qwerty
  6. 123456789
  7. 1234
  8. baseball
  9. dragon
  10. football

If any of these are passwords you use, you might want to think of changing them.

Its best to use a combination of letters, numbers, and characters to better fool the hackers of the world.
