Well, all the really good lame passwords have already been mentioned - password, 1234 etc.

How about people who think they are being really smart and use birthdays, anniversaries and/or middle names? Or the name of their dog?

Thumbs up I need one

OK, I constantly have to reset my password for all the banks and web sites. For some reason I have trouble remembering them. With this app, hey I just have to launch it and get the info. I have to make sure I remember the password for 1Password Pro

password and 1234 are definitely terrible ones. I'd love to get this program, as I hate having to constantly type in my passwords.

Lightbulb Lame Passwords

I work in a school and just to mention a few off the lame passwords people have attempted to use before i tell them to change them are :
  1. change or changeme
  2. The subject that they teach e.g. maths teacher- maths etc
  3. some other examples - food, blue, pink and cuddles which was sad. The reason for being sad was the poor girl couldnt remember how to spell the word and started crying so we changed it to one she could remember and a bit more secure and she was happy again. Bless her!

all the 'good' lame passwords have already been mentioned. The worst I've seen actually used besides default and no passwords and the obligatory "password" and "1234" variations has been "changeme" and "******". One that a friend used was a combination of '1's and lower case 'L's (like "1ll1l11l"). So if he wrote it down it looked like all 1s or all 'l's or some terminal fonts display them identically as well.

The best is how people often write their passwords on a sitcky-note underneath the keyboard. Kindof defeats the purpose.

Also, a story in The Week Magazine last week talked about USGov't computers being seriously breached because a large percentage of the employees used "password" or "Login" as their password. The secrets are out!

Default Has the X-files been off air for that long?

Back in the day there was this show called the X-Files. hence this password became quite stupid:

TrustNo1

But apparently I've just aged myself.

My dad's password on his home Mac is "123456." Every time I do maintenance on his comp it makes me cringe, but I don't have the heart to tell him to change it.

pass123

Funny enough, some of the "techs" here use that when creating accounts, and then "forget" to change it
