Thanks to MenƩame I find out which are the most common passwords used on the internet, based on a study carried out by PcMagazine.
La lista es poco sorprendente:
1.password 2. 123456 3.qwerty 4. abc123 5. letmein 6. monkey 7.myspace1 8. password1 9. link182 10. (your first name)
(Read: your name)
I donāt even want to imagine what would come out of doing the study in Spainā¦
Seeing what I have seen, I will give a ābride adviceā to everyone who comes to this entry, whether looking for how to steal someoneās MSN account, the neighborās Wi-Fi password or for other various reasons.
A password should always have more than 5 letters, accompanied by some number and at least one asterisk (*) or a hash (#). It is also a good exercise to alternate between uppercase and lowercase letters, and of course, not always use the same one for everything or at least make a distinction between important passwords (credit cards, mobile PIN, online payment accounts) and those used for less important things (forum accounts, MSN, email).
Even with these precautions we can have problems with passwords, almost always account theft. Another problem that I usually have problems with is that Internet pages are so poorly made that they do not accept anything more than simple alphanumeric characters, but that is another storyā¦
