From rd dot com, more about passwords and keeping your data safe.

Below are the ones you DON'T want to use.

I'm always surprised by the number of people who use a combination of 12345 etc as a password lol.😳

Fortunately, none of those are mine!  My passwords are so long and convoluted, its ridiculous.  And, I change them from time to time.  I am absolutely paranoid about online hackers.

There used to be a TV commerical ( I don't remember for what) and someone needed a guy password at work.  He was embarrassed because his password was "ihatemyjob".

Reminds me of the secret code King Roland had for Planet Druida to protect its clean air supply in the movie Spaceballs. 🙄

If you know the movie, you understand.

We had to reset passwords at work every 90 days.  Right before I retired it was Lastone!

Some of these are readily apparent as far as the relative ease to crack, but I am really baffled by why the number 

26, 35, and 50 passwords are inadvisable.  They don't seem commonplace or intuitive at all. (None of them are 

mine BTW!

WOW, I am so surprised at them!

I'm surprised anyone accepts four letter words as passwords (i.e. "pass", "root").  Usually you have to have at the very least some combination of upper case/lower case or letter/number.

The ones you cited are not the actual passwords.  They're examples where one would use their initials or name in an easy to guess way.
