25 worst passwords of 2014: Is yours on the leak list?

[SvenSvensonov]

I use close to 4-5 special characters and few alphabets,but the alphabets and characters 're diff for diff ids.
One of my ids has been attacked many times, so I am a lil extra careful about that id.
As of now this idea of using special characters is working fine or else I would 've been yelling "may day" here.

NICE!!!!!! And well done!!! Good to see someone taking more pride with their password! I too use a butt load of special characters, foreign and English letters, sometimes I use Cyrillic as it's a language I understand, but I've used others too, upper and lower case letters and numbers are a requirement too.

Placement is important too though. Using special characters at the front or rear of a password is expected and easier to crack, but that shouldn't deter anyone from using them. Above all, people really need to stop using basic passwords, allowing passwords to be cached and using the same one more than once.

And once again, just because I'm proud to see someone actually taking this seriously, well done

Okay I try that too, I use capslock,numbers and place one or 2 special characters in between the alphabets. Lol
And yes am proud that the cartoon who was trying to hack my id has not been successful in his/her attempts yet.
It takes some effort to create such passwords and a lil extra patience to type 'em each time when you log in to your device. Isnt it??? Lolzz



Recently I saw one of my friends using last 4 digits of his debit card as his access pin, which i think is very perilous.

Credit Card pin!!!111!!!!!!.... WTF!!!! Who'd do something like that? My email password is 28 characters... and I don't even use my email account except for about once every month. Perhaps I'm overboard with my security, but dang, at least I care enough not to use my credit card pin... that's just stupid.
