According to this report, the favorite or most commonly used passwords are '1234' and 'password'.
I can't believe these fools.
It reminded me of this incident I had signing up for an account the other day. After filling in the usual personal information, I got to the password section. As I filled in my usual password, a green text reading 'weak' showed up right beside the input box.
What the hell? Who are they calling weak?
I quickly added a few numbers to my password.
The indicator changed to 'fair'.
Just fair? Oh, you want to play huh? Let me show you who's boss.
I rolled up my sleeves and rubbed my hands together. Alternating between Caps and numbers and alphabets and symbols, I swiftly and casually added more oomph to my password. I watched with a smirk as the indicator changed from green to yellow to orange to finally red,
and reading 'strong'.
Strong! That's more like it. Lets see you call me weak again. Hur hur!
I let out a smug, 'heh' and rubbed my tummy in delight.
Till today, I'm still desperately trying to recall what's my password.
