Here's How List of Worst Passwords of 2015 Looks Like
SplashData has recently published its annual list of the worst passwords for 2015. Alongside the passwords like “123456” and “password”, which have been in the ranking for a couple of years, there are some new additions like “qwertyuiop” or “starwars”.
As noted by SplashData, more and more people start using longer passwords in an attempt to secure their accounts. Even despite such efforts, if the password has a simple pattern and contains no or very few numbers, it is still very easy to crack it, researchers claim.
