SplashData the new list of 25 top passwords

: Just because we're in 2015, and we already have a long-term connection with the internet doesn't mean that o they have taught him to use secure passwords. SplashData

For the sake of truth we present the annual list that it published SplashData

The company collects millions of stolen Internet passwords throughout the year, and places them on a popularity list.

This year's list has few changes from the previous years' lists, and proves, among other things, that there are too many who have the cognitive ability to count to six.

The following list shows 25 leading passwords that you should of course avoid:

1. 123456 (fixed in first position)
2. password (constant in second)
3. 12345
4. 12345678
5. qwerty
6. 123456789
7. 1234
8. baseball (new to list)
9. (new to list)
10. football (new to list)
11. 1234567
12. monkey
13. letmein
14. abc123
15. 111111
16. mustang (new to list)
17. access (new)
18. shadow
19. (new to list)
20. michael (new to list)
21. superman (new to list)
22. 696969 (new to list)
23. 123123
24. batman (new to list)
25. trustno1

As you have noticed, certain things do not change. A 123456 password may be quite easy to remember, but it's first in the list of dictionaries used by brute force attacks.
