When my not-so-computer-savvy ex-girlfriend setup her new email address, it took me just a couple tries to figure it out. My first guess was my first name. Sadly, it wasn’t to be. My second guess was her first name. Bingo, I had access and I still do :)
The upcoming May 8 PC magazine will be featuring the top ten commonly used passwords. Here’s the list:
1. password
2. 123456
3. qwerty
4. abc123
5. letmein
6. monkey
7. myspace1
8. password1
9. blink182
10. (your first name)
I have seen people use some of these passwords and they are no surprise inclusions in this list. I am not sure if Blink 182 is popular enough to pull it off as a popular password. I would have probably placed my bet on eminem.

I wish I was Mark Zuckerberg, then I would let analyse (anonymously of course) all the hundreds of millions of passwords used on Facebook, that surely would be interesting :D
