500 Worst Passwords of All Time

Posted 4th Jan 2009 08:48 PM by Rushster

WoW players are very protective of their passwords but could you be using a highly predictable password that made the top 500 passwords of all time? As the list states "Approximately one out of every nine people uses at least one password on the list shown in Table 9.1!

The poster should warn people of the language used on the list before telling people to check it out. Not everyone who visits this site wants to be exposed to that.
