Ahhh, passwords. The heart and soul of our cyber world. Many people don’t ever change their passwords which may be fine unless you see your password on this list. Here is a list of the top 10 passwords (see source below for more information on each password):
10. ‘thomas’ (0.99%)
9. ‘arsenal’ (1.11%)
8. ‘monkey’ (1.33%)
7. ‘charlie’ (1.39%)
6. ‘qwerty’ (1.41%)
5. ‘123456′ (1.63%)
4. ‘letmein’ (1.76%)
3. ‘liverpool’ (1.82%)
2. ‘password’ (3.780%)
1. ‘123′ (3.784%)
Many of the samples were taken from the UK if that makes any difference. I would agree that many of those are probably the most common in the United States as well, like “password” (last I heard it was the number one but that must have been from a different survey). However, in the United States a password like “liverpool” would probably not be as popular

’secret’ was the most common after ‘password’, especialy as a default for Novel networks (that I came into contact with)
some these I would have never even thought of, especially ‘liverpool’. I am not surprised to see ‘password’ as an ISP uses that as the default password for their e-mail accounts.
