Top ten most common passwords - take note!

After having my own MySpace page hacked into a few months ago and the news that the number of scams have gone up in the area, I thought it'd be a good idea to look into the top 10 most commonly used passwords.

Now on the show, we're careful with our passwords and luckily our passwords don't match any of the list but if yours does, I'd change it...and fast! Now this list is only according to http://www.modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk/ but I'd say it's pretty accurate! Take a look for yourself:

1. 123 : Oh yes, some people really silly enough to go for a simple numerical sequence; nearly 4 in 1000 of you to be precise!

2. Password : Two words: Oh dear!

3. Liverpool: 1 in 550 people have this team as their password: pure dedication or pure stupidity?

4. Letmein: Like a modern day 'Open Sesame' - yeah, because no-one would ever guess this one!

5. 123456: Wow, you guys really are clever!

6. Qwerty: 1 in 700 of you pick this simple keyboard sequence as your password.

7. Charlie: The most common name for a password. Nothing to do with it's slang usage? No?

8. Monkey: No real reasoning behind this one: maybe monkeys are just popular? :S

9. Arsenal: Could this have anything to do with it's first four letters being a swear word?

10. Thomas: 1 in 1000 of you pick this one. Why? Not a clue!

So there you have it: the top 10 most commonly used passwords in the UK at the moment! Is yours up there? I'm guessing so! Change it and fast! If you don't and you get hacked into, there's no-one to blame but you!
