Is Your Password On The List? If So, Perhaps You Should Change It...

"Back at the dawn of the Web, the most popular account password was "12345." Today, it's one digit longer but hardly safer: '123456.'"

I had to laugh when I read the list, my first guess was "password" as the most popular but it lost out to 123456, followed by 12345 and 123456789. Incredible.
