I came across a list of the 500 most common passwords (originally from http://www.whatsmypass.com/?p=415 and from Perfect Passwords by Mark Burnett). I’ve de-HTMLized the list and its now available in text format for easy parsing. It will also be included as a plug-in for Yasca, my source code analyzer.
The ten most common passwords from the list are:
- 123456
- password
- 12345678
- 1234
- (a type of feline / female body part)
- 12345
- dragon
- qwerty
- 696969
- mustang
A recent post at Acunetix shows statistics on 10,000 recently leaked Hotmail passwords. The ten most common passwords on that list are:
- 123456 (0.6%)
- 123456789 (0.17%)
- alejandra (0.10%)
- 111111 (0.10%)
- alberto (0.09%)
- tequiero (0.09%)
- alejandro (0.09%)
- 12345678 (0.09%)
- 1234567 (0.08%)
