Most Common Passwords
Worst passwords of 2014 are just as awful as you can imagine
SplashData has made the annual release of most common passwords for 2014. Among 2013's most common passwords were "12345", "123123", and "111111". This list was found through analysis of over 3.3 million leaked passwords, most of which being North American and Western European accounts. It was found that of the most common passwords, a large percentage were strictly numerical, while the others represented then-modern fads and trends. 2014's list expresses the same pop culture obsession, reflected in the list below. So, without further ado, 2014's list of most common passwords!
