Despite all the warnings about password security, SplashData research firm has reported that "123456" was the most commonly used password in 2014. The company's worst passwords list finds "123456" and "password" have remained the top two most popular passwords since they started tracking in 2011. The list was compiled from more than 3.3 million passwords leaked during the year. Shooting up to third is another numeric password, "12345," followed by "12345678" and "qwerty." Overall, five of the top 10 worst passwords featured were numeric.

 

"Passwords based on simple patterns on your keyboard remain popular despite how weak they are," said Morgan Slain, CEO of SplashData, in a statement. "Any password using numbers alone should be avoided, especially sequences." New to the list were common words including "baseball," "dragon" and "football," all of which finished in the top 10.
