How Bad Is Your Computer Password?

Password management app maker SplashData has released its list of the “worst computer passwords of 2011″. It should come as no surprise that the password “password” topped the list of no-nos.

Besides the shockingly popular “password” password, sequential number variations like “123456″ also proved quite common and easy to hack.

The only person names to crack the top 25 were “Ashley,” “Michael” and “Bailey,” suggesting that there are a lot of people out there who use their own names or names of their children as passwords.  Also, a lot of people think they’re being tricky by using “monkey.” Clearly they’re not.

The entire list is below. If one of these is your password, it’s safe to say you should change it.
