Password Puffery - Do Any Of These Look Familiar?

According to a recent study release by SplashData, an American password management data application, the 25 ‘worst’ internet passwords you can choose to use are:

1. password
2. 123456
3. 12345678
4. qwerty
5. abc123
6. monkey
7. 1234567
8.  letmein
9. trustno1
10. dragon
11. baseball
12. 111111
13. iloveyou
14. master
15. sunshine
16. ashley
17. bailey
18. passw0rd
19. shadow
20. 123123
21. 654321
22. superman
23. qazwsx
24. michael
25. football 

So if any of the above ring a bell you may wish to quickly change them.  You can also try any prospective password by running it through this test. I tried a new password out and was gratified to learn that it would take some 39,000 years to hack!

Word of caution: I would not however try out any existing passwords on a third party site such as this as you can not be sure how secure the site itself is.
