Is 'Password123' still a thing? What's the funniest or most common password you've come across?

@lrueger just found this funny thing on Hacker News recently: Password may not contain: select, insert, update, delete, drop (https://news.ycombinator.com/ite...)

@lrueger @vdelitz I started to code in 2008 and it's always been the same: filter the input and escape the output!

@anshul_raghav my wifi net is called "404 - Not Found" and the password is a variation of "I don't know. You?". I feel a nerd now ahaha

People using their name and adding '69' at the end because they think it's funny. Although the kid inside me still thinks its funny..

For me, the funniest password was "qwerty". One of the most common passwords.

@ixord Indeed, I think together with '12345' it's one of the most common

Funny story, back in the day my old company was migrating an ecommerce store from their old platform and we couldn't figure out why the passwords wouldn't import into the new system. Turns out, over 20% of the customers' accounts had their passwords set as a single space, just "12345", or something else under 6 characters. We had to build a system to force all of them to update their passwords to be secure... It's wild to see how many people don't take password management seriously. Cool launch, by the way :)

@lrueger We couldn't believe it! Thousands of users from this ecom store had awful passwords. It was also nuts that the old platform stored the passwords in PLAIN TEXT lol
Share
@lrueger @anthony_latona ahaha I was going to say that: plain text passwords! I worked in a company like that: 30 million plain-text passwords (and CC numbers)
