April 13th, 2007 by Commoner ( 489 Views )

The common way for a common man to secure something is to simply put a password against it. Its the most easiest and usable way in vogue today for authentication. But interestingly enough, according to a study carried out by IDC group, 90 percent of people use very simple to assess passwords.

Normally the passwords of people consist of their names, phone numbers, employee numbers, birth dates, spouse name, child name, company name, or the service provider name, country name , any common religious term, a greeting or just a small string of characters or numbers.

I carried out a small research in my office where I worked 5 years ago regarding the passwords just for fun. The results were of varying degree. I found passwords from incredibly complex level to outright simple string. Some passwords were real fun to know, and let me share them some of the passwords.

1- 123456789

2- reemajee

3- pakistan

4- Allah

5- hello

6- hi

7- haha

8- password

9- a#qwerty93!

10- onceuponatime

Come on, let’s share your password with us, mine is ‘ahem’.
