I Probably Know your PasswordEverybody loves convenience, especially when it comes to remembering things. So most people pick easy to use and easy to remember passwords. Unfortunately, memorable passwords are often easily guessed.

Here are a few guesses of mine. Do you have a password that matches one of these Passwords Not to Use?

• password
  pwd
  qwert
  asdf
  zxcv
  12345 (etc.)
  your initials
  your initials and the number 1
  your birth date or anniversary as a number
  spouse/significant other's name
  kid's names
  admin
  secret
  any professional sports team name
  rude terms for bodily functions derived from the anglo-saxon
  your user name
  your user name backwards
  blank
  swordfish
  your car license tag
  Don't use any of the above with 5 for an S, 1 for an I, 3 for an E, or zero for an O. For example:
  passw0rd
  pa55word
  adm1n
• Things to use if you can't think of something else

  the name of your first pet, adding 2 or more numbers to the start or end. For example: Tiger63 or 59Spotty

• Have more than one password

  You have a password for your internet account, for your log-in to work and also for some web sites you visit like eBay.
  Don't make them all the same! Keep two or three passwords for different classes of things:
  internet accounts
  work logins
  web sites
  online banking

  Why? If you use the same password for everything, then one person learning it can mess with everything about your electronic self. With only one password, someone can lock you out of your internet service by changing your password on you, then go wild on eBay with your account, hack your remote connection to work and steal or erase job info and empty your bank account. All while you're on hold with technical support trying to figure out why your internet connection isn't working! Now that's inconvenient!
