I have seen people use "qwerty", "hackme". I have also seen people use their username or the name of the site I.E. "theiphoneblog". It blows my mind.

I've got an awesome one.

I used to work at a resteraunt. I won't say the name of it and you'll see why in a minute.

Well the safe this resteraunt owned was one of those with a keypad that had letters on the numbers like a phone dial pad.

My friend who was a manager one day was in the office and I was messing with him asking what the password to the safe was, I didn't really have any intention of getting it out of him, it was just annoying.

"I bet its ______," I said (the ______ is the name of the resteraunt."

He gave me a kind of horrified look so I thought maybe they are that dumb.

I bent over and punched the name of the resteraunt into the safe and it opened. I laughed my ass off for a good hour or two after that.

The funny part is that one night a couple burglars had broken in and tried breaking into the safe. The funny thing was that the camera's never showed them trying to guess the password. They simply busted out a torch and tried to cut through the safe. They were there for 2 hours without getting in (no alarm system at this place) and they never once even considered trying to guess the combination.

So i guess the password was at least good enough to fool those idiots.

"password", "qwerty", and "god" all came to mind. Considering they've been used here "asdf" is equally as poor a choice, I'd say.

Talking It's the same as my luggage

1-2-3-4-5? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard of in my life! That's the kinda thing an idiot would have on his luggage!

Says Dark Helmet

1, 2, 3, 4, 5? That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Says President Skroob

Lest we forget why Mel Brooks is a genius.

And, in homage to him, I've used this password many times. It's become so lame that no one has ever come CLOSE to cracking it!

Insecure? Yes.
Useless? Yes.

Prize please!

I had a vendor demonstrate an online application they were selling me, and their password for the full admin account was "p"

Convenience over security = risk

Best password something simple, like "password" and then to rearrange your keyboard layout. I use Dvorak, but my keyboard still reads QWERTY, so anyone would be pissed off cuz they can't even type right.

Not really a computer password, but I've opened a briefcase once (by accident, I swear) by choosing the combination "007" on those number locks.

And there's this place I work where the boss asked the TI guys to assign the company's name as a login (let's just call it COMPANY) and put the same name again as a password, easier for him to remember, right? Well, after trying to log in, he had to call the TI guys again. "Well, it's working here, sir, 'COMPANY' as a login and 'THESAMENAME' as a password".

Also, "please." I discovered that it was a backdoor to a security program I used years ago.
