So, I was watching the latest episode of 'House' on Monday, in which Chase (one of the doctors) gets his account on a social network site hacked by one of his jilted hookups. The other doctors thought that the girl was some sort of computer genius, until Chase informed them that his password was ... "password".

And that got me thinking about other dumb passwords. "Qwerty" is another idiotic one I've heard, as is "guest" (the password to the mainframe computer in the show "Archer FX").

So, have you guys heard any other bad passwords?

my friend used his own name. His laptop was soon saturated with gay porn, and he was fraped repeatedly.

That was the password of the air-shields in the movie SpaceBalls. It sounds like the password someone would have on their luggage :lol:

When Gawker got hacked recently, the hackers made a statement saying that "password", "qwerty", and "12345" are the most unsecure passwords, as are any variations of those, such as "password12".

And please, for the love of god, don't use the same password for everything. Only an idiot would do that and expect not be hacked. And don't tell anyone your passwords either, no matter how much you think you can trust them. They're meant to be secret for a reason.

God, sex, and love were the most common passwords according to Hackers, right?

Oh, and I'm sure it's actually a 1994 film...

My coworker lived to regret telling me that her birthday was her password. It earned her a scolding and pedantic lecture from me. She got another scolding when she attemnpted to tell me her new password (when I scolded her into changing it) so that I could tell her whether I thought it was secure enough or not.

I would also add don't even give out hints how you remember your passwords or even use them based off of your special interests or you life or yourself, anything about yourself.

Make the password unrelated to your special interests and make the answer to your recovery questions completely unrelated from the actual questions themselves.

Excellent advice here.
