I'm disappointed "hunter2" isn't on the list.

Well ******* doesn't meet many password criteria.

I wonder if all the people who know this joke are also people who are tech savy enough to know about secure passphrases

It's pretty far down but 4815162342 (410 btw) is seemingly the first random one that I haven't been able to make sense of I've tried it as the alphabet, I've tried it on the number pad, can someone explain what this is, or is it just a really unfortunately common number? I would've thought this was a decent password...

They're the numbers from Lost

Thanks, that was a popular show I never got into.

zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Oddly enough I did watch the show, but my first thought on seeing them in your comment was that it might be a US phone number, 481 516 2342.

Jenny's number was more commonly used than this

I like that you went to the trouble of teying to decipher it, and then posted it here, rather than just googling it lol.

Sotuanduso@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 1y

It makes the comment section more interesting : )

Donjuanme@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Yeah.... I also scrolled down the list far enough to find one I didn't recognize XD XD XD

Don't blame me, I was at work, trying very hard to not work.

SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

funnily enough, I still have that as the password for some random thing I now own for 10+ years and never bothered to change

There was a whole subreddit for that in the times I was still over there. It's a small slice of the community, but it exists.

RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y

Had to get past the top 10 before I saw mine.

Found several of ours from when I was a kid. So glad we use bitwarden now. Lol

Why do so many Europeans use their dob as their password?? I don't see very many m/d/y date formats...

Ephera@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Probably a matter of not just Europe using d/m/y: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country#Usage_map

Touche, for some reason in my brain Arabic numerals were only used in Latin descended languages.

Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 1y (5 replies)

I saw a shocking number of birthdays from the 1980s.

Zorque@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Is it their birthday or their kids birthday?

Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

No idea, but the number 01011985 isn't anything except a birthday.

dharmacurious@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

When I was a kid, almost everything was my older brother's birthday. Born in the 80s. My brother finally convinced the family that wasn't a good idea, and we changed everything. Lol.

It is interesting that even though 7 is the most common random integer people choose, 1234567 is the third least common ascending integers password

I never understand how these lists are made.
How is "dragon" nr. 10?

The data typically comes from leaked password lists from data breaches.
